I knew it was a Lactifluus species, and I collected it for home study.

And as drive home gradually became tinged with the smell of rotten fish, I'm going with Lactifluus volemus — the "Fishy Milkcap," aka the "Weeping Milkcap."

#FungiFriday I don't really drink alcohol anymore, so I'm making gummy candies with some wood ear mushrooms (𝘈𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘢 𝘢𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘢-𝘫𝘶𝘥𝘢𝘦).

Went for the traditional First Day Hike today, and found the inaugural First Mushroom of 2026: Daedaleopsis confragosa, or the "thin-maze flat polypore."

It's REALLY old, but absolutely still worth noticing & appreciating.

Found a Dyer's Polypore today in Frederick MD. I'm letting it get bigger before I go back to harvest it. Then, it'll be my next dyeing experiment!

🍄📸 #FungiFriends #nature #mushroom #DisabledForager #foraging Don't mind me — just forcing these slices of birch polypore to produce vitamin D2 before I dehydrate them for later use.
Three fan-shaped mushrooms that are cream and tan in color, coming off of a dead birch tree on the forest floor. Washed and scrubbed fan mushrooms that are now white in color, and sitting on top of a red cutting board inside. Slices of the white mushroom sitting on a red cutting board, which is on a brown wooden table outside on a balcony in the Sun.

#FungiFriends 🍄 Finally got out for a foray, tho heat & humidity were BAD. We didn't find many chanterelles, but enough to add to our pizza.

I just love finding things on the ground in the woods, then making them into my dinner. Makes up for the recovery time I'll need now. #DisabledForager #forage
The collage at 5 pictures. First is a single chanterelle in the ground. Second is five chanterels on washed on a red cutting board. Third picture is washed and trimmed chanterelle's on a red cutting board, halved with a knife next to it. Next picture is those same chanterelle's in a frying pan with butter and garlic. Last one is those mushrooms on top of a pizza.

I went on a hike down the #C&O Canal today, near Lock 30. Lotsa trash.

It felt... ominous. #NPS #parks #DisabledForager #nature #litter #symbolism
An old broken chair with dirt and sticks all over it in the middle of the woods. There is no foliage on the trees, and mostly dead leaves on the ground, but with a few pops of spring shoots. In the background is a long light green bridge over a river.

Except for the felted wood Amanita muscaria mushroom ornaments on our tree — our house will be decorated with natural, biodegradable decor this season.
