Y’all, have you seen a decorated Pholiota (Leucopholiota decorosa)? It’s definitely a sight to be seen! #mushrooms #fungifriends

The veins of the yellowfoot chanterelle. Notice how thick and blunt they are compared to "normal" gills. 𝐘𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐭 (𝘊𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘶𝘴 𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘴) #mushroommonday #naturephotography #fungifriends #outdoors #onlybeautifulthings #eastcoastkin #thelittlethings #mushroomforager #forager #mushroomforaging

Quote: "It is time to include invasive fungi in the global conversation about invasive species and examine their role as a cause of biodiversity loss." theconversation.com/the-golden-o...

Hey folks! 🍄✨ I'm on a journey to find joy in art again after taking a much needed break. 30 days of shrooms and currently still within my first week! I'm hoping to find the fun and remind myself why I loved art to begin with. If you're interested in my journey follow along! #art #mushrooms
Throw back to last fall when when I had a #fantasticfungi kind of day in the woods of #Vermont. Lobsters and black trumpets! 𝐋𝐨𝐛𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦 (𝘏𝘺𝘱𝘰𝘮𝘺𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘭𝘶𝘰𝘳𝘶𝘮) 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐬 (𝘊𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘶𝘴 𝘧𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘹) #nature #mushrooms #mushroommonday #outdoors #hiking #onlybeautifulthings #foraging #forager

I hope this can to be scaled up soon; I know smart people are working on it 🫶 #nature #fungifriday #mushrooms #earth #mushroomsky #fungifriends #edusky #learning #education #fact #LearnAboutMushrooms #FungiEducation #FungiFacts #ditchplastic #pollution #sad #environment
Beautiful colouration of the caps and stems together with the gill structure of Velvet Shank mushrooms (Flammulina velutipes) make these very photogenic. Just coming into season here now. Valued in Japanese cuisine known as 'enoketake'. #FridayFungi #Mushrooms #FungiFriends #Mycology #Scotland 🍄
