Mycology

These pop up in this spot every year around this time. They get huge and there's probably about half a dozen clumps like this

(reposting because of the federation issues getting resolved)

Spotted this awesome cluster on a walk today and grabbed a couple, fairly certain they are Pleurotus ostreatus.

This is a beautiful page with the results of an enormous experimentation effort in mushroom dyeing

Coastal redwood forest, Northern California

Of course you want Björk to talk to you about fungi. That's like, a basic human need.

It grows on decaying pine wood

According to iphone this is a shaggy ink cap/lawyer's wig/shaggy mane.

Looked exactly like a tongue emerging from the soil..

Also found on Dartmoor :)

Found these while leading a field trip today!

New to mushrooming, but my late son wanted to be a mycologist and so I always look for them now. Found this one this morning on a fallen cottonwood log on the banks of the Rio Grande.
