As a mycophile (mushroom lover) I’ve been dreaming for decades of the holy grail of agricultural infections; huitlacoche!
(Aka Mexican truffles aka corn smut) a rare & delicious wild corn fungus, and I finally got to eat some from my garden tonight! Simmered with onions & yellow pear tomatoes.
Yum!

I never knew Lutnick was a mycophile. Meanwhile, I hope somebody thought to bring a special copy of Forbes.

So so beautiful. Really wanted to take my mycophile kid to CO (Telluride) for the mushroom festival. Guess that's not happening.

I am rather new to the mycophile community, but I look forward to learning more!

How cool is this?!?!

Oh what a beauty! Shelf mushrooms are near and dear to my heart because years ago as a budding mycophile in grad school, I tripped over a log and came face to face with one. I was immediately like "WHAT ARE YOU?" 🍄❤️

Hello 🦃tail! Love seeing these beauties 🍄❤️. Gathered these last fall to make a tincture.

Juli Sasaki is a graphic designer, yogi, and devoted mycophile. Her fungi fascination began as a kid, foraging oyster mushrooms with grandma in Ohio. It became a passion for culinary & medicinal uses. At the NY Mycological Society, she found fungi a lens for everything—and never looked back.

Here’s a little chestnut bolete I found near Saugatuck, MI. in 2023. #FungiFriday

I think this #bolete is Xanthoconium stramineum. Any other ideas on it? I don't have a cross-section picture, but there was no staining. Found in VT, USA in early August, growing around oaks.🍄
