  1. Today's prize. I love these cauliflower mushrooms, they look like someone's brain escaped the confines of their skull and fell on the forest floor. They can be quite substantial, this specimen is about double the size of my own brain. Very good to eat, too.

  2. A colony of false turkey tails is growing on one of our old crab apple trees. We have 3 old crabapple trees - 1 in front yard & 2 in backyard. They've all hosted both true & false turkey tail fungi before.
    The photo collage consists of close ups of one of the fallen false turkey tails, found on the ground.

  7. The mushroom hutch is almost done. 8ft x 3ft x 4ft.
    It is built on a foundation of stones. About 25 5gallon buckets of stones. A layer of gravel and then a layer of sand on top.
    The hutch itself is made out of pressure treated timber at the base then 2x2 framing that has all been burned, lightly sanded, a coat of mineral oil was applied and then a final coat of mineral oil mixed with beeswax. Since it will be so humid in there I went with a bit of everything to stop it from rotting. Finally the structure is wrapped in 10mil plastic. I rienforced where it is nailed to the structure with tape. It used 500 roofing nails. Most of the roofing nails are along the bottom. I REALLY do not want slugs getting into this. Another anti slug measure I have is covering the entire surface of the treated boards that touches the ground with copper tape.
    This all could have been like 2 pictures but it is getting dark. I still need to get hinges, some more sand, and find a good stick to prop the lid open with.

  8. Šis sēņuks tika nofočēts tā garām skrienot, no augšas vispār neizskatījās interesanti.
    Šķiet, sanāca diezgan OK :)

  9. Dryad's Saddle Mushroom!

    While walking in the woods we came upon this huge pore fungus called Dryad's Saddle described as "…an annual mushroom commonly found attached to dead logs and stumps or on living hardwood trees at one point with a thick stem. …On the underside one can see the pores that are characteristic of the genus; they are made up of tubes packed together closely. The mushroom's smell resembles that of watermelon rind." [wikipedia]

  10. Another mushroomy day on the #BruceTrail. I do wonder how the slugs find their way to tasty mushrooms.

  14. #FalmouthME - #MushroomWalk with #NorthSpore

    Sunday, August 2, 2026

    Location:
    #GilslandFarm
    20 Gilsland Farm Road
    Falmouth, ME 04105

    Price: $32 for members, $40 for nonmembers

    "Learn what to look for (and what to avoid!) This walk is designed to be an introduction to the mycological world of Maine, with a particular focus on #EdibleMushrooms.

    "The first half hour or so of class will be devoted to covering basic fungal biology and life cycle, mushroom myths/truths, and foraging practices. From there, we’ll head into the forest and scan for mushrooms, discussing our finds as we go. The species we are likely to find vary depending on season and location. By the end of class, participants will walk away with growing confidence in several choice species and inspiration to learn more.

    "Meet the Instructor:
    Louis Giller has spent about 15 years studying, growing, foraging, and most importantly eating mushrooms. His mycological journey began at the University of Denver where he studied environmental science and conducted oyster mushroom research inspired by Mycologist Paul Stamets. He joined North Spore about 9 years ago where he primarily works on R&D, marketing, education, and community outreach.

    "We strongly suggest you wear long pants and sturdy shoes or boots. Consider bringing the following with you: a basket, knife, water bottle, magnifying glass, notebook, and paper bags.

    "Maine Audubon strives to provide inclusive and accessible programs for all members of the community. If you require accommodations to participate in this program, please email [email protected]. Maine Audubon can best meet the needs of requests submitted at least seven days before the event start date."
