If you are in MO, MI or CA there is a project to catalog all of the fungi in your area.

It's a citizen science opportunity and I wish I could do it in NY!

Oh I didn't understand. I can do it in NY, everyone in NA can participate in this event:

Guten Morgen! Was war gestern schön was hat euch gefreut? Es sind die kleinen Dinge die zählen.

in von Fichten dominierten Wäldern findet man oft tausende von Nadel- Stinkschwindlingen. Diese Pilze riechen nach verfaultem Kohl, daher der Name. Saprobier, ungenießbar.

Coralloid fungi (Ramaria lorithamnus?) emerging from the forest floor on Genoa Peak, Croajingolong NP, VIC. Lots of winter fungi up and about in East Gippsland at the moment after recent rain.

A spot I look at regularly in my backyard really ed up lately! surprises 💚 to all & beyond❣️

This is a view of them from above. There are also some orchid plants on the sides of the trunk.
Delightful close-up of the lichen under one of the mushrooms. The mushrooms steam is light beige, and the gills under are brown. The lichen is gray green.

🍄🍄 It has been a while since I posted some mushrooms!

Here is a cool looking cluster! Does anyone know what kind this is? 🤓

Went for a walk along the river the other day and saw these Shaggy Scalycap (Pholiota squarrosa) at the base of a tree

16/06/2024 - Today we met a Blusher mushroom on our travels. Whilst taking a quick snap I noticed ants moving underneath it, carrying larvae. What a magic thing to watch.

I took a video on my little camera, it's a bit fuzzy as these ants are small and my knees weren't that happy with the bending down. Plenty grumps getting back up again!

Short video of ants moving across the ground carrying larvae (?) Guessing something must have disturbed their home.

Mushrooms are neither plants nor animals. They belong to their own classification: fungi

Monday morning trail run was fantastic. Sun was out, everything glistening after rainy weekend, and the Efts were on the move.

Another nine days. You can see the mushrooms flattening slightly and getting dramatically darker.

Same tree and mushrooms from the first photo but now it is 9 days later and the mushrooms have flattened and doubled in size. Less blubby and more plate like. The previous golden yellow has darkened to caramel brown and the white edges have yellowed. The bottoms are still white.
Closeup of the bottom 5 feet of a hemlock tree with 7 round to blubby polypore mushrooms fruiting out from the bark. The young, tender mushrooms are golden yellow on top and white on the edges and bottom. The tree is in the forest with moss as its base and other trees in the background. The bark of the tree is darkened with rain.

Seven large, flat shelf mushrooms growing out of a standing, dead hemlock. The largest is bigger than my outstretched hand. The tops of the mushrooms and where they attach to the tree are amber brown and they lighten as they get closer to the edge with yellow being the final color. At the base of the tree is a bright green carpet of moss. In the background are green shrubs, ground cover and larger trees.

    Spent the day out at Tidbinbilla south of Canberra today. Such a great spotting day!

    Saw my first Lyrebird despite hearing them all my life! And saw my first Bandicoot! So cute and not particularly shy, so managed a video just with my phone (which I don't seem to be able to upload), so here is a still and bonus and
