Lichens from our Intro to Lichen event at the park today. #quesnel #lichen #fungifriends #mushrooms

Lobaria pulmonaria coming alive after desiccation. This was over the course of about 5 minutes. Note the striking orange apothecia. We will be holding an "Intro to Lichen" nature walk in the Timber Park tomorrow, more info on our website. #quesnel #fungifriends #lichen #mycology

Tremella - looks like a classic ascomycete but is actually in the division basidiomycota. #quesnel #fungifriends #mushrooms

Peniophora rufa (Red tree brain fungus) is always a fun find on our local trails.

The snow is melting fast, this must be our 3rd 'false spring'. Lots and lots of beautiful Cladonia species being revealed. #fungifriends #lichen #mycology #quesnel

T'is almost Verpa season, harbinger of Morel season. In Quesnel, we find these pop up about 2-3 weeks before morels are in full gear so are a good way to prepare for a morel hunt. Do you eat Verpas? Do you like them? #Quesnel #fungifriends #mushrooms

Plicatura crispa, this lovely little mushroom grows in winter and spring here. Always love to look at the gills, not sure why we didn't manage to get any good shots of them the other day.

One of our members, Molly, found these stunning Russulas last season. Beautiful!

Some risqué shots of Cyclocybe aegerita (Piopinno) gills. #fungifriends #mushrooms #quesnel

Clamp connection between two hyphae, Phyllotopsis nidulans, 600x #quesnel #fungifriends #mushrooms

Cladonia is spectacular! #Quesnel #fungifriends #lichen #mycology

Cerrena unicolor (Mossy Mazegill) Largest flush of these we have found, we are always amazed by the elongated pores on this fungus. #quesnel #fungifriends #BC

Ear pick fungus - Auriscalpium vulgare (according to our eyes at least) #quesnel #fungifriends

First mushrooms of the season! Stinking Orange "Oysters" (Phyllotopsis nidulans) Lucky for us, they didn't actually stink. #quesnel #fungifriends
