Yeonik posted:I think both of these were last year. Wife got a new camera that I was trying out, trying to be all artsy and crap (you'll see what I mean when I share some of my other hideous pictures.) Thanks for sharing, god drat as though morels aren't proving hard enough to find the fact that the most common non poisonous one is the color of the soil is not going to help. Are those black morels / Morchella angusticeps? If you find more you should cut one in half and post a picture please. My shaggy parasol spot is still barren, nearby spots I've seen giant puffballs and shaggy mane at aren't producing anything yet either. The only fruiting bodies I've seen on my hikes are little half inch inedible bullshit on standing trees, forgot the name and even the family, but I suppose it's a good sign of temperature, humidity and things to come.

Epitope posted:Maybe a Russula Pretty sure this guy got them all, just by coincidence I was reading about squaw root the other day if I'm not mistaken that's the same plant we call 'bear corn' here. Seems like humans can't do poo poo with it beyond giving it nicknames unfortunately. Not a mushroom but it's cool. I wonder if bears pick it and grind it into a syrup and make literal Mtn Dew with it, maybe in a better world Found some tiny see through mushrooms the other day, all sorts of little shits that I don't care about because they're not known reliable sources of food. But it's coming. We got Mayflowers in April here, now give me some mushrooms in May.

These are some older pictures I took in I think 2015. There's a nice park near where I live and it was nice to walk through the woods with my camera, and finding neat mushrooms was always fun. No idea what any of these are though. These are the only two of this type of mushroom I ever saw, and I thought that picture turned out nicely.  These popped up all over the place for a few months.   No idea what was going on here, but the thing was huge. That downed tree that its growing up was probably about 2.5-3ft in diameter.   All sorts of things going on here. And again, no idea.   And then this weird waxy lookin orange thing?  Basically all of last year I was working night shifts so I didn't have time to go out into the woods to look for neato mushrooms, but I managed to switch back to days recently so I'm looking forward to getting out and finding some more.

The first one I'm going to look up when I am back later because I know I've seen it before and I'm tempted to say it's a russula but I feel like it's not, the second might be Ganoderma applanatum / artists conk, which you can draw on the bottom because it semi-permanently bruises heavily when touched, some people even go beyond the finger notes like the one Free Market Mambo posted and actually use a makeshift bruising tool to do crazy art on them, unless it's something else which it could be because I've failed you the yeti posted:Inky caps and dead man's fingers: Awesome finds, all in one day? I'm pretty sure inky caps are a common nickname for Coprinus comatus, which we call shaggy mane here. I found some last year and waited a day for them to peak, gone before I came back. Looks like you found them in the stage where they are useless as food but very good as ink, though I have yet to try writing with it. extra stout fucked around with this message at 18:43 on May 12, 2017 |

 Victoria, Australia. Growing on the side of a heavily used road so I probably wont try them out anyway, just wondering if they're edible. About 1.5 inches across.

Synthbuttrange posted:...just wondering if they're edible. I'm certainly no expert, but given that the first line on https://fungimap.org.au is the rather understated "the edibility most Australian species of fungi is untested", I'd say no. Looks like an agaric of some kind, so a fair chance of it dissolving your liver. Does it smell of disinfectant and stain yellow when bruised? A spore print can help identification - press the gills into a sheet of white paper and post a pic. Again, please don't eat it!

Personally anything with gills I don't trust myself to identify, with a couple exceptions where they're very distinct (chanterelles, shaggy mane). Morels, boletes, puffballs, chicken of the woods, these guys are much more straight forward.

Oh no my liver. (not going to eat it, I couldnt get anywhere near an ID on it, and it was growing by a main road so probably loaded with heavy metals)

Is this enough to identify by any chance? These were growing in my lawn last year so I can't get a better picture. They ended up shriveling up in a couple of days, in a very strange way.

Modest Mouse cover band posted:Is this enough to identify by any chance? These were growing in my lawn last year so I can't get a better picture. They ended up shriveling up in a couple of days, in a very strange way. Sort of impossible to guarantee from one picture but since you mentioned the rapid shriveling, the cap is upturned and seems black and inky, it's possible they were shaggy mane / inky caps that others have posted. Really interesting mushroom because they're common yet considered rare, easy to identify when edible but then rapidly look like a hundred other mushrooms. I've only found them three times and never got to eat any, but essentially they have a long pill shaped cap that within maybe 30-40 hours splits and comes up, doesn't stay flat, and curls while the cap turns to an ink that some people still use to write with. So (if they're shaggy manes) they're considered delicious but you almost always find them while they're already half turned to mush. There is a lookalike species that I don't think is dangerously poison so much as just less good and less studied if I recall. Sorry for not replying to all the posts, again I'm no expert and I don't know poo poo about Australia, so it's nice to let other people take guesses and reply too.

I'm no mushroom connoisseur, but I take photos of them on occasion.  This one popped up in a lawn at a place I was staying in Belize. I planned to get the same photo later when it opened but it shriveled up within a day.  Some tiny ones on Jasper National Park.  Wolf's Milk Slime.  Scaly Tooth.  Not sure.  Shelf fungi in Borneo.  Also seen in Borneo.  Back in Canada again.  Shaggy Mane.  Shaggy Mane.  Morel growing sideways.

Hey there's some cool pics in here, thanks guys! Had a pretty lovely morel season, mostly because I was working my dick off and wasn't able to get into the woods. I made it out this weekend and found a handful of morels, nothing serious.

Picnic Princess posted:Also seen in Borneo. It's crazy to imagine eating a stinkhorn, but thanks for posting what I think is the most edible and photogenic stinkhorn https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phallus_indusiatus It does however not fit with my thread title because the veil is incredible and distracts from the cock shape hidden underneath.

ookuwagata posted:What I do is generally separate the pores from the cap, (as usually the pores tend to be damaged from banana slug feeding more often than not) and also peel off the pellicle, the brown skin on top, and then slice and sautee in a bit of butter or really good olive oil with a small amount of shallots and garlic. If there's a lot, after briefly sauteeing them, I freeze them. Finally might have found my first porcini (Boletus edulis), didn't bother posting it or uploading the pictures for a while because as you can see: This fucker was not pretty or edible, but I think it's the species. Stem is especially huge and bulbous but everything seems to match, only distorted by age and bugs   I followed your advice just to learn more about it, and like most mushrooms it seems pretty easy to prepare. Just gotta find another one nearby that hasn't been eaten by bugs for two weeks.

Kinda wonder if this is Cordyceps. It was dark and I was exhausted so I didn't poke around to see if there was an insect in there somewhere.
