Hello friends,
Happy #FungiFriday to all of you.
Daily temperatures have finally turned into a plus, while the nights are still cold and icy. The snow has melted, and no precipitation is expected for now, except for occasional rain. During the previous period, it was difficult to spot mushrooms because most of them were covered with snow. Also, not many species grow during the winter.
I first spotted a group of, I think, jack-o'-lantern (Omphalotus olearius) mushrooms. I'm not completely sure about id. I found them in the woods not far from the trees, growing out of the ground. They contain a toxin that is poisonous to humans. Although not lethal eating them can lead to muscle contractions, vomiting, and diarrhea.
The next type of mushroom that I often come across in winter is Flammulina velutipes. Now I can confirm the id with certainty because I meet them often and have seen them at all stages of development. A group of these mushrooms sprouted from the ground not far from the stump where I often find them.
