Hola, setero! Today I share some mushroom impressions from this autumn. All of this mushrooms I found on the city lawns of St.Petersburg.
This was a huge colony of mushrooms at a city lawn, which I cannot identify for sure, 100%. But I came up with one iD - it may be Lyophillum fumosum, or maybe other Lyophillum sp. They had a dense structure and no special smell... If other experts would say a verdict, will be appreciated.
This is not caviar - this is 'winter mushroom', just very early, new-born, just popped up. Tiny and touchy! I especially love background at this photo, both wood and soil look splendid, so much diversity!
Shaggy Scalycap - an autumn mushroom. But I managed to find it even late in December, under the snow.
Some corall-esque mushroom. Actually it was very tiny, just 3-4 cm in diameter. I didnt find its iD exactly. I wonder, could it be the Hericium coralloides, which I didnt met even once? Its a rare protected specie. You will be surprised to hear the little story behind this photo. I found it in my local park - occasionally! I just got down on my knees to take a capture of some moss, and already from a half-hand distance, I noticed I have much more! Sweet.
My old friend, Coprinus comatus (in Russian: Навозник белый). Recently I was checking my babygirl's bookshelf, there is a guide for mushrooms there, I opened it on the page about this mushroom... and know what? I discovered it has another name (at least, in Russian language): 'a city mushroom'. Isnt it nice? By the way, it also prefer to grom in huge colonies... and extremely photo-friendly at all stages of its life-cycle. Here I presented a grown-up matured shroom, which didnt start aging yet.
I see a little mushroom family here. Touchy!
A brown rim-roll mushroom (in Russian: свинушка): unhealthy fellow, its non-toxic but better keep away from it. For example, at a distance of a camera :) They indeed look splendid: impressive size, fleshy, elastic ... occure in large families ... it is a pity that they are not good for the cooking!
Oysters on an old poplar tree. There were growing like 6-7 colonies on one tree.
Now, its time to part ways, I wish you good luck -- and Good Hunting! Oh, and Happy #FungiFriday to you.
A little reminder: we have a nice fun challenge at HIVE, hold by @EwkaW: FungiFriday. I hope many of you will join, as there are only 2 simple rules:
- when Friday comes, share your fungi with us! post your own, original photo/drawing/art/food/anything-at-all of any type of fungi (yes, stolen images will be checked and reported !)
- add #fungifriday (not necessarily must be your 1st tag). that's all!
