Now that’s the largest Rosecomb Chanterelle I’ve ever seen! Looked like a brain on the forest floor.

I’ve never heard a satisfying answer as to why this rosette growth pattern happens.

Came upon a forest ranger documenting fungi.They had a list of species they were cataloging. The cauliflower 🍄‍🟫 (sp. Sparassis crispa) was listed.

I shared the coordinates & details of where I’d found them in that forest. She was very grateful.

Maybe it was karma; I found another one 30min later!

A nice gathering of Golden Scaleycaps I found while walking in Midlothian, IL on Sept 23, 2024

Always love finding lobsters - they're yummy! Some people don't eat them because they're "parasites" and that's cool - just hand 'em off to me, please and thank you!

Just one of the many chanterelles that were found last year in northern Indiana. Looking forward to July and August this year!

Another loner.

I’m not 100% sure but I think it’s a deer mushroom. Found in SW Michigan.

The perfect gills of the late fall oyster mushroom. Some ppl don't like these bc the texture can be rubbery, but they make the absolute ✴️best✴️ mushroom jerky!🍄

Not sure which Cort this is, but that ring screams #cortinarius! I love cortinarius gills; they're always so perfectly and symmetrically arranged ❤️🍄

Massive! These polypores get all kinds of big. They're edible, but only palatable when very (very!) young.

A random assortment of tiny shroom. All found on the same day, in the same area in central Michigan.

Bright and beautiful baby #reishi from last spring. In my neck of the woods, they usually show up at the same time as #morels

I’m not telling you where I found these, but in a couple months it’ll be time to harvest again! 🤤
