Good afternoon, fellow fungi lovers! š
ā
āI stepped out early today to tidy up our yard, and right near the trash can were these two little mushrooms that are popping up beside some new young plants.
ā
ā
āThe first thing that popped into my head after seeing them was that they look just like pancakes. š
ā
āTheir caps are flat and round, and they're covered with reddish-brown scales that are scattered all over. If we compare them to pancakes again, it's like someone drizzled syrup in a nice pattern on top of them, haha.
ā
āUnderneath that cap, their stems are short but look really strong and sturdy.
ā
āIt's hidden under the cap, but no way they could hide from me. Haha
ā
āI was going to take their picture no matter what! š
ā
āI used Google Lens to find out what they are, and itās called Stinking Dapperling, or Lepiota cristata.
ā
āTheir name sounds interesting. I didnāt get close enough to smell it, and didnāt even notice any scent at all.
ā
āBut from what I read, itās said that it sometimes gives off a smell like rubber or coal gas... though I canāt say for sure myself since I didnāt test it out.
ā
āNature really never stops amazing me, and Iām always so happy to share these little finds with all of you here. š„°š«¶š»š„°
ā
āUntil my next mushroom hunting...
ā
āThanks for the visit! Have a lovely day. Buh-bye. ššø
