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!

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

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

🤷‍♀️ Or maybe a wood ear 🍄?

But i dont know nearly enough about mushrooms or their differential characteristics to *just KNOW* or logic my way to a correct ID, and then decide to remove or keep or eat(?)

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 🍽️🍄

Messaged a friend that we had luck finding Spring King boletes in the mountains. She mentioned she had just hooked a gorgeous salmon on the river.

Took an evening walk and traded some bounty! 🐟 🍄‍🟫

Also here's a periodic reminder to never trust genai mushroom "identifier" apps or books, because they will get you so, so poisoned 💖

Alt Text: A close-up of mushrooms on a forest floor with a humorous text overlay: I admire the Mushroom Foragers, but I will never be brave enough to attempt it. I'm too afraid I'll misidentify a mushroom and when I try to wat it, it'll start whispering to me in ancient languages. Offering me secrets in exchange for my time, which sounds like a pretty good deal, but before I know it, 800 years have passed. I'll realize too late, you can never go back the way you came.
