The veins of the yellowfoot chanterelle. Notice how thick and blunt they are compared to "normal" gills.

Not so innocent, these mushrooms 😜 . They're actually quite brutal. Good eating, though 😁 -- the #circleoflife, and so it goes

Throw back to last fall when when I had a #fantasticfungi kind of day in the woods of #Vermont. Lobsters and black trumpets!

These mushies blend right in! Edible and not bad - not top on the list but palatable if you get them young

Was gifted this #chickenofthewoods 🥰 - cooked with herbs and white white = delicious! (Check out that texture too!)

Beautiful #brickcaps from last year in #NewEngland #Vermont. Edible and quite tasty but have some very problematic lookalikes 😞

The more and more I learn, the more and more I am absolutely and indescribably amazed by mushrooms.

From mushroom to jerky - experimenting with #berkeleyspolypore. It came out good, but dried it like 30min too long and the final product was VERY chewy 🍽️🍄

So special to see the #corpseplant in bloom. It can be 7-10 years between flowering . And boy does it stink 😖 @smithcollege

This impressive bracket fungus has teeth. Found next to a #oldcemetery in #vermont. Cemetery + mushroom killing the tree seems about right

The tinder hoof grows a little bit more every year - the lighter, lower portion is the newer growth. They can last 20-30 years (and probably longer).

What better way to celebrate #fungifriday than with this #STUNNING bolete, aptly nicknamed the Candy Apple Bolete.

Wine cap mushrooms are like #portobellos, but better 😁. Did a simple oven roast with these and it was 🤤

Can't wait until these are fruiting again! Last year I made a mushroom salt with #blacktrumpets-it was the perfect seasoning for so many things.
