Hola, setero! Today I share some fresh mushroom photos. What is so special about today's selection? All of these fungi appeared at my place, at my summer house garden. We have a lot of trees there, including birches, spruces, oaks, pines, rowan -- so, fungi find the environment acceptable and continue to grow in our place, without any special efforts on our side.
Unidentified little fellow - very tiny and very fluffy! Hided on the dead tree stump. Most sure it is unedible, but it is not useless, -- it posed and showed us his beauty!
Young edition of Daedalia quercina -- easy to identify for this polypore's unique maze-looking texture.
It appeared on another stump, decorated with same specie fungi, aged and already started ruining. From the distance it reminded me a weird dwarf's cap!
A very appealing and weird looking fungus, having no useful qualities, as far as I know.
If I had not known in advance, I would have decided that this is a skeleton of some kind of coral from Biology Museum. Stunning!
Another coral-looking mushroom: Oyster ostreatus, looks 100% like the coral 'sea feather'.
Hooray, I found the first Amanita muscaria at our place! First, "the edge of an egg" appeared in the ground, and then it turned out to be the top of the mushroom itself ;=) I watched its developing for a few days.
Unlike the rest of the photos taken with a dedicated Sigma 150mm macro lens, this photo was taken with a wide-angle 16mm fisheye lens -- just from a very close distance, about 10cm. It turned out macro!
The summer edition of summer honey agaric -- I believe these are edible, but not 100% sure. They have a good, proper taste.
Léccinum scábrum -- we have a lot of this kind that popped up around in our place, and continue to grow -- each day I find 2-3 of them, sometimes in very surprising new locations. One of them.... grew up in the middle of our blue irises! and it was huge, cap was 20sm in diameter. No photo -- it was hard to shoot.
And finally, the last but not the least: Porcini!
Those who follow me, may remember what a good harvest of Porcini I got last year in my own garden, around the oak tree growing there. This year, the first three these mushrooms appeared at exactly same locations as last year! I just checked the same places every day (have a small garden area and it's not difficult doing it on a daily basis, vice versa -- its a pleasure!).
There is a fun challenge #fungifun in FungiLovers community; share your stories and trophies, photos and recipes, contemplations and ideas. Not sure about correct ID (which allows us to find out more about certain fungus) -- no problem, no fear -- mushrooms are full of weird charm, even staying nameless. We appreciate them any way, not only for their cooking values. Join the
