I love fungi North of Kenomee, Nova Scotia, Mi'kma'ki benkendrick on iNat
The Cobequid Pass toll section always has interesting fungi going on there. The ditches there are a large artificial lichen barren. And I don't think people have looked deeply into what lives there since the highway was constructed. I regularly encounter records of lichens found during that time.

Met a dog named Henry today. He was grumpy, so he wasn't as pleased to meet me as the other way around.

Catathelasma ventricosum - Swollen Stalked Cat I like cats. Here's the other one for comparison since they're both out.
Bengi Kendrick@fungiwithbengi.bsky.social · 2d agoImperial Mushroom - Catathelasma imperiale New to me I think I've found all but one Matsutake lookalike in the area now. Having a double veil gets you to Catathelasma. Being somewhat sticky on the cap when wet, and being somewhat gelatinous on the inner veil distinguishes this from C. ventricosum.
Aromatic Earthfan - Sistotrema confluens Certainly has a smell. Can't say I would want to smell it regularly. Not like Cinnabar Polypores, I could sniff those all day.
Chromosera lilacifolia var. lilacifolia New to me Conveniently distinguished by its 'lilacifoil' gills, and its general colouration.
Had three interesting wildlife encounters in a row today. Pulled into a good mushroom spot and there was a male ruffed grouse doing a mating display on top of a pile of dirt. Head down the road a bit later and I saw three bears. The mother kinda ran and left the cubs to protect her from me.
Tricholoma badicephalum - Wonderful Headed Tricholoma Quite a rarity, but it seems to like my area as this is not our first or second encounter. Distinguished by its scaliness, lack of stickiness, lack of orange tones, single veil, and its close association with spruce trees.
Copper's going missing again. The county is going to have to start making plaques out of cast iron or something because there is no longer a sign to mark the old horse and buggy route into town.
I'm still wearing shorts on damp days and it's almost October. I can't stand the cold, so this is probably a good indication that we're in for a warm fall/winter. Some years it gets too cold the week before Halloween, but I don't see it getting there so suddenly this season.

It may look nondescript but this is one of the easiest mushrooms to ID in the field 🍄📷 Collybia tuberosa grows in large dense clusters from the decaying fruit bodies of other mushrooms!!! You differentiate it from similar species by the presence of the appleseed-like sclerotia they arise from
Splitpea Shanklet - Collybia cookei New to me Distinguished from Collybia tuberosa by its sclerotia being more subglobose than apple shaped, and also a slightly lighter colour.
One of the best photos I’ve taken in a while. Submission to @ryansnoddon.bsky.social ‘s pics. Question to accompany. Was taken on one of the trails around Lake Charles, and there were A LOT of mushrooms (more than I usually see). Better conditions this year for our fungi?
Might be getting a bit more adventurous than usual with the mushrooms I decide to eat today. My guides mention that it is edible when young and thoroughly cooked, which suggests to me that there is something less than edible in there, just in small quantities. I must taste the pretty blue fungus tho
Finally found a better suspect to compare to. If it were a member of the Pluteus romelii complex that would be a lot less out of place here.
Bengi Kendrick@fungiwithbengi.bsky.social · 2w agoWell here's a little doozie. New to me. Looks very similar to a blackening waxcap, but is brown and yellow. Which seems closest to Hygrocybe spadicea. But I can't really find any evidence of DNA proven samples of that on this side of the pond, or a lookalike which would explain it.
Went for a walk in the Ravine today and came across these dainty little mushrooms
Did that photo only half load on everyone else's end too?
Bengi Kendrick@fungiwithbengi.bsky.social · 3d agoPine Pelargonium Webcap - Cortinarius cf. flexipes I'm just going to use the iNat name for this one, but this common name doesn't work well here. True C. flexipes is a European species associated with pine, but the North American specimen are more associated with spruce and/or fir.

Do I know anyone who researches shrews who wants one? We have a rare shrew species in the area (Sorex maritimensis) which is hard to visually distinguish so I keep encouraging people to keep dead shrews that they find, but I don't know who actually wants to work on the shrews.
"This Hygrophorus is characterized by its small, whitish to pale buff basidiomes , its decurrent gills and its strong odor of Russian leather." Oh nice, that's totally something I have a lot of experience with, I go to Kamchatka to sniff leather jackets every summer"
Chocolate Milkcap - Lactarius lignyotus sensu lato My sources assure me we don't have the true L. lignyotus here, but they also only have a better name to call the ones that stain purple, and this doesn't.
