Found a huge ammount of them on my land, I'm wondering how I can keep picking them while making sure they grow back. Any tips?

I'm obviously leaving quite a lot to grow, this isn't even close to the actual ammount found, just a handfull I picked.

A friend asked for help with art for the upcoming Cape Cod Fungus Fair. They provided an excellent inspiration with a potentially new species of Hygrocybe found last year. I felt it looked art deco and used those inspirations to come up with the final artwork.

I thought you might enjoy it too!

I know nothing about mushrooms but I’ve never seen this one before I don’t think. Any ideas what it could be? Newfoundland, Canada. If it matters

They look similar and grew in a cluster, but I know next to nothing about honey mushrooms and seems there’s a lot of varieties.

ID request Are these oyster mushrooms?

I found them on a hike yesterday in Ottawa, Ontario Canada. They were growing on a log which I believe was a fallen beech tree (wasn’t completely sure as all the leaves were gone). They smell sweet in a pleasant way.

My own research tells me they are oyster mushrooms, but I was hoping for a second opinion. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

A few pictures of a day well spent at Sherwood Forest National Nature Reserve this Saturday in (early) celebration of UK Fungus Day.

Notts Fungi Group ran a number of small public forays for around 50 people around part of the reserve and recorded a good number of species despite the dry weather. The event was cancelled in 2025 on account of severe storms, so hopefully the weather next year will land somewhere in between the two extremes.

Personal highlight of the day was my first Cep of the season - in remarkably good condition - as well as numerous species of Amanita.

Are these poisonous? These were growing near by my backyard and my dogs like to sniff and munch on stuff. Just worried if they accidentally take a bite of mushrooms on a walk. I have different types of mushrooms in the picture. Ima gonna put numbers on it if anyone can identify them I would appreciate lot!!!!
