Precious clusters. 🍄 📸 #FungiFriends #Mushrooms #Fungi #Nature
Clusters of small, round brown mushrooms with a bumpy, net-like texture grow from the cracks of a rough, weathered tree stump. Sunlight highlights their patterned caps, and blurred leaves and branches fill the background. A tight cluster of tan, textured mushrooms grows at the base of decaying wood, partially covered by thin fallen twigs. The mushroom caps have a distinct dimpled pattern, and dry leaves and bark surround them in soft sunlight.

Be the blessing that someone else prayed for. Love unconditionally. 💚

Turkey-tail mushrooms 🍄📸 #FungiFriends
Clusters of thin, shelf-like fungi grow densely along the side of a tree trunk. The fungi have wavy, layered edges in shades of tan, gray, and cream, resembling turkey tail mushrooms. The background is softly blurred, showing hints of sunlight and trees. Close-up of bracket fungi growing in layered clusters on the side of a tree trunk. The fungi have wavy, shelf-like caps in shades of tan and brown with subtle striping. The background is softly blurred, showing blue sky, tree branches, and patches of green grass near the base of the trunk.

The mushrooms shown here appear to be Suillus, a genus of boletes often called “slippery jacks” or “sticky buns.”

They have symbiotic relationships with pine trees 🌲

Common species include Suillus luteus (Slippery Jack) and Suillus grevillei (Larch Bolete).

In the foreground, a curled reddish-brown leaf is in sharp focus, with sunlight softly illuminating the mushroom’s smooth cap in the background. A cluster of large, golden-brown mushrooms growing in bright sunlight among green grass and dry fallen leaves. The mushrooms’ rounded caps appear slightly glossy, surrounded by curling brown leaves scattered on the ground.

The sky glows with rich oranges and purples as the sun sets behind the trees, offering a tranquil view. The sky glows with rich oranges and purples as the sun sets, offering a tranquil view.

Wineberries!✨🍇

Near my home, I’ve been lucky enough to stumble upon a wineberry bush growing wild. They’re a little like raspberries, but shinier and a bit tart-sweet.

#Foraging #Nature #Berry
Close-up of wineberries on the bush, showing red ripe fruit with glossy drupelets surrounded by fine reddish bristles. Some berries are still unripe, and large green leaves fill the background.

Oyster Mushrooms! I don't think I've ever seen them grow on the ground like this - I assume there's some dead tree root I just can't see.

Meet Magnolia Stellata, also known as the Star Magnolia. It is a slow-growing deciduous shrub/small tree native to Japan.

This one has begun to flower. Soon it'll sprout leaves 🍃

The red dead-nettle is returning!

Lamium purpureum, aka red dead-nettle/purple dead-nettle/purple archangel, an annual herbaceous flower from Europe and Asia.

Also, it is edible! 😋
