Though I’ve only encountered it a handful of times, the aborted form of the blushing rosette (Abortiporus biennis) is among my favorite fungi! These coral-like projections are not filled with basidiospores, but instead are filled with ellipsoid to subglobose asexual chlamydospores! #Mushrooms

Snowy waxcaps, Cuphophyllus virgineus. This is a hillside in Derbyshire with a good range of fungi species, including scarlet and crimson waxcaps, and various types of jelly fungus. #nature #mushroom #shroomscrolling #FungiFriends

I’ve no idea what this lichen is. Ochrolechia sp. that’s trying to look like Lecanora? This one is growing on tree, and most Ochrolechia I’ve seen grow on rocks. Ikenotaira, Tomi, Nagano #Lichen #FungiFriends ニクイボゴケの仲間かな。長野県東御市池の平 #地衣類

Only two moths in my small actinic trap last night - both December Moth. But that's a new species for me and the garden so happy. #teammoth

A good day for mushroom sighting! Splitgill Mushroom (Schizophyllum commune) Purple Jellydisc (Ascocoryne sarcoides) Crystal Brain Fungus (Myxarium nucleatum) Common Bird's Nest Fungus (Crucibulum laeve) 🍄 #FungiFriends #FungiFriday #Mushrooms

Possibly witches' butter fungus but could be orange jelly spot. Found growing on gorse. #fungifriends #mycology #fungi #nature

Metacampanella subdendrophora growing on scotch broom in Pacific County, Washington. #metacampanella #mycology #macrophotography #fungi #fungifriends

Mycena tenerrima from Pacific County, Washington. This tiny and widespread Mycena is in Mycena sect. Sacchariferae due to the powdery cap texture, stem with long setae and disc at the stem base. #fungi #mycology #mycena #fungifriends

A tawny grisette mushroom. #fungi #mycology #nature

Clitocybe nebularis, the clouded funnel mushroom. Edible but not without risk. These #mushrooms cause gastric upset for 1 in 5 people, with a variable toxicity that may be related to the substrate they grow on. Best left untouched. #fungi #fungifriends #mycology #shroomscrolling #nature #autum

I've waited a lifetime to find Striated Bird's Nest fungus, and this week I've seen it twice! Also a magnificent colony of Coral Slime-mould, a troop of another slime-mould Physarum sp. with a lime-encrusted peridium and a heap of Witch's Butter. At @wildlifebcn.org Old Sulehay NR 📷🍄

More of this #lichen behind the tennis courts. I have started to see this type (Ramalina sp.) hanging out a lot with what I think is a teloschites sp. and i got the fanciful idea that there might be some sort of cross over. I’ll see if I can find a pic and post next to illustrate #FungiFriends

Have only seen Blue-green Stropharia (Stropharia aeruginosa) one time. Green and blue mushrooms are rare finds in the Pacific Northwest (Trudell and Ammirati 2009). Can be found in forested habitat, grassy areas and gardens of low elevations. So enjoy #ColorADay for #GreenSat.

Always nice to see scarlet wax caps. This is Hygrocybe coccinea, found on farmland in Derbyshire. #mushroom #FungiFriends #mycology #fungi #nature

Another Magpie Ink-cap in the woods today! @hopeeaton.bsky.social took this excellent photo, which involves something called "composition". She's so much better at taking photos than me!

For FunguSunday today I have these fabulous purple imposters … which is what my daughter calls Amethyst Deceiver mushrooms … which these are 😀😀🍄‍🟫 #mushroom

Found this pretty Slime Mould on our walk in the local woods this morning. I think it may be the early stage of Stemonitis flavogenita (happy to be corrected!) #SlimeMouldSunday

I'm a bit stuck for time today so here a quick pic of staghorn fungus from the local forest. #hiking #nature #photography #fungus #fungi #fungifriends #EastCoastKin #ColorADay #YellowThu #Ireland

Aren't robberflies amazing? Large, fast, predatory flies that inject their prey with a paralysing and digestive neurotoxin, then suck out the liquified contents. Yum. We saw this fine example on an #orchid in Rhodes this year. Looking forward to what we find there next spring...
