Hello Bluesky,

I'm Blair(HamOntMushrooms), passionate about deep and reverential ecology, and dedicated to documenting the essential fungal diversity of Hamilton Ontario. I am an avid hiker, and exploring amateur naturalist, always looking to discover new natural wonders.

sarcoscyphaaustriaca is another species of scarlet #elfcupmushrooms and these ones are saprobes that lie hidden in the leaf litter and can be easily missed. We found a jackpot of these in #dundasvalleyconservationarea on the Main Loop #mycosky #fungifriends

I saw a comment on insta saying "just disobey him" and the irony is- that's the truth but no one is. The Colombians cowtowed to him. Why? I wish I knew what to do as a non-American.

Saw a reel where someone said the saddest thing about this woman is that she's doing this as a form of traumadumping because of previous experiences. It's a twisted kind of self harm to be so perpetually trapped in your own pain you keep digging into the wound and flinging the blood on everyone.

Oh I hope you do. If you can't find chanterelles, try pink Oyster mushroom.

I just love these types of gills- adnate with subdecurrent teeth. They're just so magical to behold. Found a lot of these growing in a ditch in leaf litter. These are proper winter mushrooms, flourishing from late autumn until early spring.

Hello #fungifriends, today we have a lovely #xylariapolymorpha or dead man's finger. Some fungi, like this one, have two reproductive stages, which caused taxonomic confusion before genetic sequencing was available.

#mycenalaeiana or orange mycena, discovered at Dundas Valley earlier this summer. The pigment leainafulvene, which gives them their colour has antibiotic properties. Mushrooms are truly magical to me, a new frontier.

Gilded brittlegill, #russulaurea found at Buttermilk Falls in #hamont. The overall yellow tone of Russula aurea distinguishes it from inedible Russulas, such as the bloody brittlegill, the sickener, and the beechwood sickener.

Two large mushrooms with carmine red caps that are folded upward due to age and cracked. The gills are a bright ochre yellow and the stipes are thick and creamy white. Nearby are the leaves of a strawberry plant. They lie in the shade amongst the grass.

Their mating system, and genetic makeup is incredibly complicated. Hard to wrap your head around, but so fascinating!

Immature fruiting body of a cinnamon bracket. #hapalopilusrutilans is a polypore with neurotoxic effects. It bleeds this lovely purple and is used as a natural dye. Found in #hamont. It looks quite alien and otherworldly to me.

Ochre-yellow blob on dead trunk of pine. It has purple liquid leaking from pores visible on the surface.
