In our area, the change in the seasons brings a shift from amanita muscaria to amanita pantherina. This specimen is fully mature and has the typical tan (instead of red) coloration for the species. #mushrooms #fungifriends

Quickly becoming my favorite (non edible) fungus: Schizophyllum commune. This one reminds me of a sea anemone #mushrooms #fungifriends

Today I found a new one to me, Golden scaleycap. There are several closely related species which are difficult to distinguish in the field and are often classified as Pholiota aurivella. Really was beautiful in the sunshine. #fungifriends #mushrooms

Another one from today’s wanderings in PNW. I was surprised to see these all clumped together since they usually grow singly. #fungifriends #mushrooms

Just in time for #fungifriday #fungifriends

Anyone remember Pac-Man? Nom nom nom!

When fall is still trying even though there’s a winter chill in the air- #fungifriends #mushrooms

Saw these cute little guys while walking home the other day. Peziza varia, common name “layered cup.” #fungifriends

Seek identified this one as amanita aprica (also known as the sunshine amanita). #mushroom #fungifriends

Anyone know what this one is? Found this week Willamette Valley west of Portland Oregon growing in pine needle duff at the base of tree. #fungifriends (turn sideways)

I found a mushroom! Ok so it was pretty hard to miss… #mushrooms

“Old friends” #fungifriends #mushrooms

A pretty little splitgill: Schizophyllum commune #fungifriends

Essence of autumn #fungifriends #mushrooms

This is a first for me - porcini mushrooms coming up in a lawn! #mushrooms #fungifriends

“Well hello there” #fungifriends #mushrooms

Nature’s art #fungifriends

I didn’t find any boletes this morning, but the honey mushrooms were out in force. #mushrooms #fungifriends

Sometimes it’s really obvious why the common name is “Penny bun.” #mushrooms #fungifriends

What we’re looking for! It was perfect! #fungusfriends #mushrooms

Spot the Porcini ( I think the are getting better at hiding #fungifriends

Yet more Turkey tail and some very photogenic oak galls #fungifriends #fungifriday

Ahahaha Google AI is gonna get people fuckin KILLED dude!! For those unfamiliar with mycology, the species at the bottom, Galerina marginata, is not only not a Pholiota species, but is in fact DEADLY FUCKING TOXIC. They contain the same deadly amatoxins as death caps and destroying angels!!

Not a mushroom, but I absolutely love looking at fractal (Romanesco) broccoli (tasty too!) #fractals #farmersmarket

2024 was a big year for atproto! We've got an update looking back at progress that has been made, and some protocol work in progress. Will have a 2025 roadmap to share soon.

Down on the brain farm 🧠 #FungiFriday

I think this is the early stages of a polypore; I can’t wait to see what develops from it. #fungifriends

Mushrooms in the redwoods. #fungi #fungifriends

So glad we have mushroom kits to get us through the winter months. My blue oysters are pinning. #mushrooms #fungifriends

I thought this was a useful picture because it shows all the life stages in one shot of mica caps #fungifriends #mushrooms

Unknown species, but it was too pretty to pass up! #fungifriends

#fungifriends #live taken moments ago.

Could this really be an oyster mushroom? Look at the size! #fungifriends #mushrooms

Possibly Laccaria laccata, otherwise known as “deceiver”mushrooms. Sure are a lot of them! Running a spore print on them #fungifriends #mushrooms

Fungi Friday #fungifriends

Dacrymyces chrysospermus (Orange Jelly Spot) #fungifriends #mushrooms

Perfection.

I prototyped a web app that shows an overview of mushrooms you might encounter on your hikes. ❤️ if you’d use this #fungifriends #fungi #mycology

Any ideas what this, albeit slug munched, mushroom is? #fungifriends #mushrooms

Slime molds need love too #fungifriends

The parrot waxcap mushroom. Very pretty, but way too slimy to eat. Photo by National Geographic. #Fungi #FungiFriends #Mushrooms.
