Riding in on the blue line today, the car smelled lovely, like maple syrup and pancakes. Turns out I had a candy cap mushroom in my hoodie pocket. Don't remember picking it #mushroomproblems #fungifriends #hongos #mushrooms #pocketsurprise #mushrooms

Fun day in the field. The lab crew, some IMA folks and Thomas Roehl went looking for, and found, Lentinus tigrinus mushrooms for an ongoing project @Clark University. Pretty golden oysters too! #mushrooms #fungi #research #illinoismycologicalassociation
