While we're waiting for morels, here are some fly agarics (Amanita muscaria) to ponder. Poisonous, yes, but choice Boletus edulis (The King, Porcini, Cep, Penny bun, etc.) sometimes also appears in this spot (they are generally known to associate). What's up with that? #fungifriends #mycology

Photomicrograph of Alternaria cassiae conidia using Nomarski lighting. It is a pathogen studied for biocontrol of sicklepod (Senna obtusifolia) weeds, also found on cowpeas (Vigna unguiculata). It would be interesting to know the function of the very long conidial 'beaks.' #fungifriends 🍄

People were still finding winter chanterelles here in January. Here is a nice winter chanterelle soup for the colder months, from part 4 of Mushrooms For All Seasons. #fungifriends
