Cylocybe cyanescens :wink:

I had some pictures I'd taken of mushrooms I'd found in the wild (not those ones), but had to delete them from my phone because I was running out of space. I'd stored them on my computer, but then the computer stopped accepting a charge. Oh well, they weren't very good pictures anyway. I'll be keeping a close eye out for any interesting fungi especially when the weather's damp, and will share any pictures I take here :)

I love looking for cool natural things (fungi, insects, plants, etc.), I just have to remember to take a picture when I see them. My family hates going on nature walks with me because I'm always stopping to look at things (but isn't that the whole point of a nature walk?).

These little things are popping up this week on various local lawns. It's the "lawn mower's mushroom" (Panaeolina foenisecii). :D

From Brain Pickings by Maria Popova: This short article about Beatrix Potter who also drew extremely good drawings of mushrooms. Nine mycological standard drawings in this article.

I wonder if toads ever really use toadstools as toad stools?

The fall mushroom season has arrived! :D

Some lovely orange Amanitas sprouted across the street today. Not my picture, but this is what they look like.

What is fruiting in my woods; I apologize for the poor quality of the photos, I only have an iphone camera. If you google the names, you will find better pictures should you be interested.

When I was studying fungi, all the polypores were still mainly in Polyporus. That genus has now been balkanized. I knew this as Polyporus cinnabarinus. It is growing on mature live oak branches downed last year in Hurricane Irma. Third from the left is turned upside down (pore side up.)

Image

Here is a slime mold in its fruiting or "plant" stage. These are orange globules on tiny white stalks, which can best be seen near the bottom of the photo. Much better photos on google. Not sure I can even get this one to genus. Might be Trichia. Growing on dog poop.
