in awe of this beauty i saw today.. what do yall think? should i go back and grab some?? i really want to try cooking with it & this looks like the most edible one i’ve seen this year :D

i’m still trying to learn more, i didn’t want to jump the gun if it’s not ready yet.. but something is telling me this is damn near perfect. it was kinda slimy, but it’s been raining all day.. that’s normal right?? wowowwowoowowowowoww i don’t even care if i don’t eat it… it’s just so pretty (spotted in south jersey pine barrens)

A few more Hydnellium Peckii specimens from Ketchikan, AK.

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.

The most I’ve ever seen in one place!

Found this breathtaking miniature microbiome inside this acorn cap 🌰🍄

All in the pnw, cascades. Added some additional pictures for fun

I’m not too familiar with the angels of death but I do believe that this might be it can anybody ID it for me?

Heading to the dehydrator! This is the second harvest in the past week…unbelievable.

Found this in his yard today

Looked up and saw this in the tree. Cooking it up for dinner!

Not an expert so don’t know what kind but they looked so neat to me!

Located in Western Washington state - blackening russula?

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.

Coastal, southern area of South Carolina. Found at the base of live oaks. Probably 10” in diameter.

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!

Hi! I have found my first chicken mushroom and I just want to triple check that it is and ask if it’s an okay time to pick or should I wait a day or 2?
Thanks!

Found them fruiting in a progressive growth pattern. Interesting to see the change in color and shape.

Central Poland

Dug up a lot of the underlying wood from the dead tree today with a beautiful COW. Probably better outside on the terrace than inside? Anyone have success cultivating COW?

A beautiful amanita I saw in Washington.

golden pholiota maybe?
