I heard you guys like mushrooms 🍄‍🟫 🌱 #gardensky #mycology this one seems to be trying to impress the sewer pipe in the backyard

Sequoia National Park in California

At the farmers‘ market… 😋🍄🥰

This is the same log we visited in December when most of the bracts were covered in leaves; now it’s early summer and there’s lots of signs of new growth for Fomitopsis quercina. #fungifriends #fungifriday

Saying good night to my BlueSky friends with this incredible sight. On June 31, a rare 22-degree solar halo appeared above Devils Tower in Wyoming. The ring formed as sunlight passed through millions of tiny hexagonal ice crystals, creating one of nature's most beautiful optical displays.

A hard rain a couple of days ago brought out the mulch maids today in force! Too bad they are not edible, but they sure were fun to see after this long dry spell we were having. #fungifriends

Sunrise at Stonehenge today (24th June) was at 4.52am, sunset is at 9.26pm

It’s “galling “ when you think you’ve spotted a puffball! … but upon closer inspection, it’s an oak gall. Not the first time I’ve fallen for this lookalike. #fungifriends

Caturday The Nelly Effect "My brothers cat is terrified of slippers that look like him 😹 have you ever heard a cat say no?"

Possibly Xanthoria parietina “common sunburst lichen” on side of tree. I noticed the color from a distance, but the detail up close is amazing. I’m sad that I must overlook thousands of beautiful views like this one in the course of a week, but happy that I didn’t miss this one. #fungifriends

What is it? Trametes betulina, known as the gilled polypore (A new species for me). What is that on it? No clue. Seen on a walk today in the PNW. Anybody? #fungifriends

Honeycomb coral slime mold. Ceratiomyxa porioides. #slimemold #myxomycetes #fungifriends

Here’s some pinning blue oysters that I grew. I just love their “personality” (they were delicious!) #FungiFriends

Peekaboo! I see you! #FungiFriends

Passed by these trametes again and the light was just right to show off those copper/bronze bands. #FungiFriends

Some more field caps, Agrocybe praecox, to brighten your day. They certainly brightened mine! #FungiFriends

Raising winecaps in your garden beds is not without the occasional unwelcome, if not unexpected, visitors; Evidence in the following photos. #FungiFriends

A little worse for wear and lack of rain but there’s no mistaking the aniseed smell of The Prince (Agaricus augustus). First of the year. #FungiFriends

The Portland frogs are everywhere! I found this one in a tree while looking for fungi.

Yellow Field Cap, Bolbitius titubans, in planting bed bark dust #FungiFriends

Common turkey tail doesn’t look common at all in this photo! Trametes versicolor showing off striking bronze bands in the fading sunlight. #FungiFriends

I love the spring and the summer, but I’m dreaming of fall. #FungiFriends

Today’s harvest of wine caps including the one I missed yesterday (and a sharpie for size). #FungiFriends

A sizable (about as big as my phone) white blob (possible ganoderma species?) at the base of a tree. I’ve been watching this grow since last fall and can’t wait to see what happens. #FungiFriends

I thought that I knew all the things about mice. Those of you who know me probably thought so too.....BUT I just found out about GLACIER MICE!!!! OMG! Squee! 🧊🐭😍 www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQMp...

Sometimes the distinction between fungus and sea life is hard to discern. #FungiFriends

Some aged split gill fungus earning their common name. #FungiFriends

I’m possibly Tubifera montana. One thing for sure certain is, I’m smol! #FungiFriends
