Mutation #2: This deceiver/Laccaria amethysteo-occidentalis has a cap deformity. Looks like a little crown.

If you need a reminder of hope, remember that #fungifriends eat the dead and decaying material on the forest floor. Eventually the good-for-nothing assholes will be eaten too 🙃

Stay strong, y’all. We can do this 💪
Two russula mushrooms are pictured and the larger one has a fir cone resting on top of their cap. You can see the gills of the larger mushroom and the very light pink color of both mushroom caps.

Cookeina tricholoma photographed in Pastaza, Ecuador. This beautiful ascomycete grows on wood in tropical areas - in the USA it only grows in far southern Florida. It was described as Peziza tricholoma from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 1834 and moved into Cookeina in 1891.

Members of Cortinarius subgenus Leprocybe fluoresce or 'glow' extremely brightly under 365nm UV light because of the presence of unique pigments known as leprocybins ✨💚✨

Microglossum griseoviride in all its glory. Spotted this beauty early in the year, at the cutest little cabin in the woods of coastal northern California, where I stayed to be part of a mycelium women's choir. Just submitted it to @mycota-lab.bsky.social for DNA sequencing! #mycology #dnasequencing

Cortinarius sect. Leprocybe observed today with Aaron under oaks in Redding, CA near Shasta Lake. This mushroom had a beautiful UV reaction, turning blue in UV when adding 5% KOH.
