Sexy Gill Sunday! Lepiota decorata or Pink Parasol, Lactarius sp. or Milky cap, and a Crepidotus. I can't seem to not find fungi on my w.a.l.k. Strength in numbers.

A colourful basket of Chroogomphus - Lactarius - Suillus and one wood blewit under the large milk cap. Picture taken a few years ago. Digging out of the snow again today!

What if trees whispered beneath the snow? The Golden Milkcap (Lactarius alnicola) builds hidden networks, vital for carbon cycling even in winter's chill. Intrigued by these secret underworld connections? #FungiExplained #UndergroundNetworks

Descobri que existe um cogumelo azul e comestível chamado *lactarius indigo*. Ele é encontrado no sul e leste da América do Norte e em florestas dominadas por carvalhos. É tmb um fungo micorrízico, fazendo uma relação simbiótica mutualista com várias plantas.

Looks like some type of lactarius—run your fingernail over the gils and sole “milk” may come out

Bueno, pues poca cosecha de setas hoy, pero con fotos curiosas de setas rarillas: Lactarius Aurantiacus y Calvatia Utriformis.
¿Hace un Gin Tonic?😉
Enebro plagado de bayas aún verdes. Lactarius Aurantiacus, no comestible. Calvatia Utriformis abierto por la cantidad de humedad reinante tras las nevadas, dejando a la vista la gleba blanca, aún inmadura y comestible, aunque bastante insípida.

Млечник голубой (лат. Lactarius indigo) — вид грибов рода Млечник (Lactarius) семейства Сыроежковые (Russulaceae).

Шляпка диаметром 5–15 см, джинсово-синего цвета, зонистая, сначала выпуклая, затем становится вдавленной и даже воронковидной.
В молодости край шляпки подвёрнут вниз.

Stem not being hollow does matter, good instinct! I’m a little hesitant to say for 💯 sure which lactarius it is without knowing a bunch more details but it could be lactarius voluminus (choice edible). Whatever it is, it won’t kill you but look up the protocol for testing!

Those are milk caps (lactarius), I could tell you which one with more info! (Scrape the gills with your fingernail and see what color the milk is)

extremely large (8" across) and lacunalicious Lactarius deliciosus looking all fancy for the fall.

#FungiFriends #fungi
my color photograph of a large Lactarius deliciosus mushroom fruiting body, erupting out of the deep brown redwood duff in Mendocino County, CA. This beautiful orange mushroom has a splotchy stipe with a geometric orange tiling pattern on a cream background. The cap is deeply funnel shaped and filled with rain water and bits of brown leaf litter. The edge of the rich golden cap has deeper orange patterning but none of the deep emerald green coloration that this species is often known for.

Lactarius resimus is a species of mushroom in the Russulaceae family. It has a cap which ranges from 4–15 cm in diameter, while its stalk has a length from 2–6 cm and a width of 1–3 cm. The mushroom is generally white, but stains yellow to orange. Its spores are white-yellow, elliptical and bumpy. An edible fungus, it is considered a delicacy in Russia and some other countries of Eastern Europe, often pickled in salt. This L. resimus mushroom was photographed in Katon-Karagay National Park, Kazakhstan. Type: photograph. Credits: Avustfel.

🍄🦞 🍁 goddess forbit nova scotia be without another ref. to lobsters lol:

Lobster mushrooms, scientifically known as Hypomyces lactifluorum, are a unique type of edible fungus that resembles the appearance and flavor of lobster.
🍁Lobster mushrooms, scientifically known as Hypomyces lactifluorum, are a unique type of edible fungus that resembles the appearance and flavor of lobster. What Are Lobster Mushrooms? Lobster mushrooms are not true mushrooms but rather a parasitic fungus that infects other mushroom species, primarily Russula and Lactarius. This parasitic relationship transforms the host mushrooms into a bright reddish-orange color, resembling the shell of a cooked lobster. The transformation is so profound that the original mushroom becomes unidentifiable. Wikipedia +1 Characteristics Appearance: Lobster mushrooms are characterized by their vibrant orange to reddish color and firm texture. They lack the typical mushroom structure, such as a defined cap and gills, due to the parasitic process. 2 Flavor: They have a subtle seafood-like flavor, often described as similar to lobster, which makes them a popular ingredient in various dishes.

Extra post of the photo containing various mushroom species from the Visitors Center to fit the second half of the alt-text descriptions provided in the display. Begins with Morels, which are furthest right in the middle, followed by the lowest row left to right.
Morchella deliciosa Morel The name Morchella deliciosa applies to more than one kind of morel, as they are especially complex to identify. Common in the Pacific Northwest, this mushroom fruits in spring and has a hollow interior. Coprinopsis atramentaria Common Ink Cap Inky caps grow in abundant clusters on decaying wood. The gills liquefy into a black ink that helps to spread the spores- sometimes in a matter of hours! Cortinarius violaceus Violet Cort Cortinarius is the largest genus of mushrooms in the world, with over a thousand estimated species. The deep color of the violet cort is unforgettable and is usually quite rare except for in old-growth forests (unreadable but I believe it said something about Olympic National Parks). Lactarius deliciosa Saffron Milk Cap Lactarius species are identified by a milky fluid that exudes from the mushroom when broken. Archaeologists discovered a 2,000-year-old Roman mosaic depicting this fungus that is common to pine and spruce forests. Geastrum saccatum Rounded Earthstar The rounded earthstar uses its “arms” to anchor itself to the soil where it decomposes decaying wood. Raindrops hitting the puffball help disperse its spores

ABSOLUTE BEAST of a Hypomyces lactifluorum! This parasitic (on Russula or Lactarius) Lobster Mushroom was bigger than my head! Special thank you to MSSF, JDSF and the Mendocino Woodlands for the opportunity to learn more about our fungal world.

#FungiFriends #lobster #fungi
close up color photograph of a giant Hypomyces lactifluorum, a lobster mushroom. It is a massive head-sized parasitic fungi with intense orange coloration. it is shown in someone's left hand, where you can just see their fingers below it for scale. cropped in the background is another person and a dirty hardwood floor and some rectangular windows in a door.
