Happy #gameofshrooms2025 I'll be hiding two notebooks inspired by the Mary Banning exhibit currently on display at the NY State Museum. Book covers are based on her illustration of L Indigo. Hiding them in Upper Paugussett State Forest (newtown, ct). Clues to be posted here & on insta #fungifriends

Do I try to remain present and grateful to be in the woods without needing anything in return? Yes. Am I also making mental notes of last season's chicken of the woods? Also yes. #fungifriends #🍄

I was an awestruck audience on today's hike. I had to stop and just watch this sliver of log held by a root. #nature #hiking #newengland

Good morning #fungifriends, wanted to share throwback to the most startling mushroom I've come across and yet another example of amazing common naming. Here we have stalked puffball in aspic (Calostoma cinnabarinum)
