Here are some juicy Pink Oyster #mushrooms (Pleurotus djamor) for #FungiFriday. I've known these little guys since they were spores! They all grow up so fast. 🥴

I know Wolf's Milk
(Lycogala epidendrum) is a #protozoan, but slime molds USED to be considered #fungi ...that's my story and I'm sticking with it for #FungiFriday. Photographed at #EatonCanyon in #Pasadena, #California.

For #FungiFriday here's a Red-cage Fungus (Clathrus ruber) found in #SantaBarbara that looks remarkably like a bike helmet.

It's #FungiFriday, but I'm not 100% sure of this specimen's ID. It could be a Turkey-Tail (Trametes versicolor), but the color banding appears more bacon-like than turkey-like. Mmm...bacon.

Todays #fungifind is Candlesnuff Fungus! (Xylaria hypoxylon) 🍄
The candlesnuff fungus, also known as the 'Stag's Horn', has an erect, simple or forked fruiting body with a downy stalk. It grows in groups on dead and rotting wood, and can be found on stumps and branches of all sorts of trees.
Top tip: By keeping dead wood in your garden, you can encourage all kinds of fungi to grow, including Candlesnuff Fungus, which in turn attracts the wildlife that depends upon it.

Saturday #Sponge day!
Check out these beautiful Boletes that have sponge like pores instead of gills!
Almost all members of the larger Boletaceae family have pores or tubes instead of gills which make them an easy family to identify.
There are about two hundred and fifty Boletes worldwide with about eighty identified in the UK which, with only a handful to avoid due to toxicity, leaves a good amount of edible mushrooms that can be safely identified for consumption.

Happy Fungi #Friday 🍄
We hope everyone is doing well and excited for the #weekend!
Here are some #clusters of mushrooms that we have found on our #adventures! We tried a new side angle which has turned out great! (Was worth crouching in the mud over 😂)

Good #evening everyone 🌙
Todays #fungifind 🍄
Deer Shield / Mushroom! (Pluteus cervinus)
The Deer Shield is a #wood-rotting fungus that occurs mainly on hardwood #stumps. This fungus can appear at any time from late #spring through to late #autumn.
Although its caps are usually fawn or light brown, like the coat of a young #deer (referred to as a 'fawn' regardless of its colour!), some authorities say that the common name comes not from the #brown colour of the #cap but from antler-like horn-shaped protrusions on apex of the gill-face #cystidia (known as pleurocystidia) that can be seen under a #microscope!

Happy Sunday everyone! ☀️
Todays #fungifind 🍄 The stages of a Shaggy Parasol! (Chlorophyllum rhacodes)
A Shaggy Parasol is a #large, stocky mushroom with a #convex cap when mature. The cap’s surface has raised #brown scales, giving it a #shaggy look, further enhanced by the shaggy edge to the #rim.
The shaggy parasol’s habit of #growing in rings, known as #fairy rings, has long been part of European #folklore. Some believe the #rings symbolised a place where #fairies, #pixies or #elves danced in the woods. Others believe that they were a #portal between the fairy world and the #human world!
On a side note, though #edible when cooked for some, I wouldn’t be #foraging this one for dinner because it can cause #severe gastric upset in 1 in 25 people! #fungioftheday #shaggyparasol #toadstool #fungi #mushroom #nature #tinderfungus #mastodonmushrooms #mastodon #mastoart #mycodon #bracket #mosstodon #mycology #fungiverse #fungus #mushroomsofmastodon #nature

CW: Fungi creating zombie ants..!
#funfact | Some fungi create #zombie ants. Yes, you read that right: zombie #ants! The fungus responsible is the Ophiocordyceps unilateralis, found deep in the #Amazon rainforest. This sinister #parasite infects the carpenter ant, growing through its body before eventually taking over its brain. It then compels the poor, hijacked #insect to leave its nest and climb to a nearby #plant – which just so happens to be in the perfect environmental conditions for fungus #growth.
Here, over a number of days, it consumes the ant’s innards and sends a long #stalk through its head, growing into a capsule of #spores. These rain down on other unsuspecting victims, continuing the grim #cycle.

Good Morning everyone! 🍄
Sometimes you come across #fungus that you aren’t 100% sure about the #ID on but are too eye catching to not #photograph! These are some of the ones we’ve captured; aren’t they cool!

#funfact | You can remove all the #birds and still have a #forest, but if you remove all the #fungi, the forest will #die.
Fungi help #breakdown the #materials in the stressed and dead #trees as part of a complex #nutrient cycle that is vital to #regeneration and a healthy forested #ecosystem
Without fungi to aid in #decomposition, all life in the #forest would soon be buried under a mountain of dead #plant matter.

#funfact | #Fungi were plants’ #root systems when plants couldn’t grow their own! 🍄
Fungi have #symbiotic relationships with plants, which almost all #plants depend on. These symbiotic fungi live in the plant’s #roots and lace out into the #soil, supplying the plant with #nutrients and also protecting the plant from #disease.
The plant, in exchange, #feeds the fungi with energy-containing compounds that it has made in #photosynthesis.
This #relationship is very ancient and really lies at the root of all recognisable #life on land. The ancestors of plants, which were freshwater #algae, would not have made it out of the water were it not for these ancient #alliances with their #fungal partners. 🌱
