Are there any fungus among us? (3 Viewers)

It’s that time of year here again, we’ve had a wet year (think Pacific Northwest) and the mushrooms are blowing up everywhere! Here’s some pics from yesterday and today.

The chanterelles are huge this year! Some like a head of broccoli! The boletes haven’t started yet but it’s looking good for some large ones!

It was a bit dry here this year - not started yet….

These were from last year up to 1400m

We got them for a while. These showed up in about 2 days.

Looks like the remnants of a fairy ring. When conditions are right one mushroom will drop its spores in a perfect circle under it. This continues through generations and the “ring” grows because they keep dropping spores in a circle. The edges grow new mushrooms while the older center mushrooms die

The first bolete I’ve seen this year, plus some shaggy manes coming up in my yard

Not recently, and not even this time of year, but these are some of the coolest ones I’ve ever seen.

Hell yeah!!! You can’t eat those I don’t think, but people cure some of those shelf ones into a leather and make stuff out of that.

And other puns.

Haha no, I typically don’t eat them. I just like foraging, keeping those Y2K skills sharp. Or whatever civilization ending hysteria that is currently gripping the world this news cycle.

Outside of our cottage in Northern Michigan. Pops up most years in the fall.

This is what my son said it was.

So should I dry and smoke this? A red with white spotted one showed up 2 years ago. I was contemplating an Alice in Wonderland moment.

And then all kinds of crap about dying if not done right popped up. Hmmmm....we'll see!
