First rain, first trip to the woods. No mushrooms but the polypores are growing already. 📷🍄 #FungiFriends #Fungi #shroomsong
Shelf mushrooms on a log. Mostly orange with concentric rings. They resemble turkeytails but are probably genus stereum Same species from underneath Big colony of same species on the other side of the log Underside of one fungus. Always post the undersides on iNaturalist

Rarely does the witch walk fast. Her travel is often slowed by need to pay respect to Wood Sprites, talk to genii locorum. She sets her pace to the best speed for gathering omens and harvest wild magics along the way. – #EmilyCBanting , 1982 #WitchSky

Walkers are soon drawn into the unspoken rites required by the land. They may not understand their overwhelming need to trespass upon a farmer's field and walk towards a lump of trees, but they must do it. The land's call for occulted ceremony is too strong to resist. – #CLNolan

Golden Haired Parasols, after a week including several super high tides & other weather. Remarkably strong little inkycaps.
They look how I feel today.

So I take out the compost. Neighbor wants to gossip. Gah. But then she says “and there’s mushrooms growing in my strawberries, I’m afraid they’ll poison them.
I ran for the phone. They’re probably edible. 📷🍄 #FungiFriends #mushrooms #Shroomsong
Several views of a clump of cream colored inside out mushrooms. They’re probably oysters. Not the kind that are cultivated but very similar. Same alt for all photos in this post.

Went next door to see if my slime mold colonies had washed away in the rain. I need to get some flags to mark these spots. Anyway, here are some tiny mushrooms. #FungiFriends #sporepunk #shroomsong 🍄📷

Some kind of Bolete. Definitely a blue-stainer! 🍄📷 #shroomsong
Four photos of beefy bolete mushrooms, pinkish brown on top, reddish underneath. They have spongy pores instead of gills. The fourth shot shows the yellow stem has turned blue where it broke off.

Birds Nest Fungi: egg shaped little cups that blow their tops and are full of eggs which contain spores, which wash out of the nests when it rains. They’re about 3-4 dia. #FungiFriends #shroomsong #sporepunk 🍄📷

3 pics of birds nest fungi in various stages of maturity, fourth pic shows the entire colony is smaller than my hand.

3,000 uploads to @iNaturalist as of today. My favorite mycena: Bleeding Fairy Helmets. The fall mushrooms are popping!

3 pinkish mushrooms growing on a fallen tree. In 2 weeks this crevice will be filled with them. Top mushroom was lightly sliced with a knife to show the dark red “sap” bleeding Cluster of pinkish mushrooms from slightly below eye level Single mushroom shows the gills underside Another cluster of pinkish mushrooms on the same tree, from slightly above

SQUEE. My very own alien in my front, um, front of the building. Also first Agaricus of the year. Might have to go stalk the cemetery tomorrow. #shroomsong #sporepunk 🍄📷

All Turkeytails, all the time. These, I am told, are all the same species.
Which was explained to me … tactfully and clearly. #FungiFriends #shroomsong 🍄📷
Traditional turkeytail fungus, a fan shape with concentric rings of different shades of brown. Turkeytail with green bands as well as brown. Immature turkeytails. Brown fan shapes with cream colored edges Really bad photo of a green turkeytail next to a more traditionally colored one.

More mushrooms? Sure, why not?🍄📷 #sporepunk #shroomsong #FungiFriends
More Fairy Parachutes or tiny Bonnets. Tiny white mushrooms showing their gills These are also tiny white mushrooms. About 2-3 mm. Probably Bonnets. Underside of random orangeish mushroom. There are too many species that look like this for me to ID.

CANNONBALL FUNGI! Tiny tiny little shroomlets in the bark. Each little star is about a mm across. They can shoot spores several feet away so make sure to park your cybertruck near a patch, to enhance the finish. #FungiFriends #Sporepunk #shroomsong🍄📷

And it’s #WeeWednesday on Insta. Here’s some tiny mushrooms. 📷🍄 #FungiFriends #Mushrooms #Shroomsong
Tiny yellow mushroom with fingernail for scale. Probably laccaria, aka deceivers. Cluster of tiny cream and brown Oak Leaf Parachutes growing through the lichen; pen tip for scale Orange caps with white stems and dirty fingernail for dcale. Possibly gum tree laccaria. Possibly a Gum Tree Deceiver. Big one is maybe 3mm, the really small one is maybe 1mm. Orange cap and brown stem

#Shroomsong of the day. 🍄📷 #FungiFriends. Details in alt.
Pair of long-stemmed light beige mushrooms with dark gills. Oysterling mushrooms growing out of the side of a tree; they have tan scaly tops and gills underneath Coral fungus, looks light tan in the photo but really they’re yellow. They have many branchlets. Stereum growing on the side of a tree. There is light fuzz around the edges and look like draped fabric, earning the name Hairy Curtain Crust.

Went downstairs to wait for a delivery & heard the Shroomsong. Looked down. Millions of little gray mycena in the wood chips. #sporepunk 📷🍄
3 1/2 small mushrooms shading from light gray to stripes to dark gray Two “larger”(about 1/2 inch) and one tiny gray mushrooms. Teeny baby mushrooms. At the lower right is the tip of my mailbox key for size Underside of fully mature mushroom.

I have a #mimic for #SciArtSeptember Amanita Phalloides, the Death Cap. Mimics many species of edible agaricus. However if you look at it in natural sunlight it is green, not white. See attached post
📷🍄 #FungiFriends #Shroomsong
Large greenish white mushroom, the cap has split and there is a veil ringing the stem from when it “hatched”
