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.

Not so innocent, these mushrooms 😜 . They're actually quite brutal. Good eating, though 😁 -- the #circleoflife, and so it goes

The golden oyster mushroom craze unleashed an invasive species – and a worrying new study shows it’s harming native fungi
Kits that help people grow their own golden oyster mushrooms at home may be one reason this nonnative species is now spreading in the wild.

A golden colored Amanita mushroom with its volva/cup/pod intact at the base from which it has emerged. The stem, also called a stipe, is textured with a velvet-like surface and has a very dark colored spider crawling across.

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!

Throw back to last fall when when I had a #fantasticfungi kind of day in the woods of #Vermont. Lobsters and black trumpets!

These mushies blend right in! Edible and not bad - not top on the list but palatable if you get them young

Beautiful #brickcaps from last year in #NewEngland #Vermont. Edible and quite tasty but have some very problematic lookalikes 😞

The more and more I learn, the more and more I am absolutely and indescribably amazed by mushrooms.

From mushroom to jerky - experimenting with #berkeleyspolypore. It came out good, but dried it like 30min too long and the final product was VERY chewy 🍽️🍄
