Merry meet!

Summer is burning along and we’re getting closer to the equinox. As signs of autumn begin to appear, it’s mushroom season here in the Northern Hemisphere!

The mushroom discussion from last year has closed, so please accept this new space as a place to share any cool fungi you find. If you spot any shrooms while out on your walks in the woods or on your lawn, feel free to post them - I’d love to see your fungi friends! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

To start off, here are a few fun guys (ft. other finds) I spotted on a hike the other day:

There were a lot of shrooms, but mostly earthly colors. I haven’t spotted any pretty fly agarics or other colorful ones yet. Most of them were munched on (not by me!)

What mushrooms have you found? I’d love to see them! :brown_mushroom: :blush:

Blessed be!

Mandatory safety disclaimer that foraging wild mushrooms for consumption can be dangerous. Stay safe by learning from local foraging experts and only using mushrooms you are 100% sure of.

Lovely photographs. It is the start of the foraging season for fruit. I can see that the Blackberries are ripening do you pick them for a pie? I know that you can pick mushrooms but only certain ones

Some of these are really beautiful! Thank you for sharing the pictures and the info on them.

In my Midwest backyard, mushrooms spring up after a lot of rain. Sometimes they are the tiny, fragile variety that flop quickly when things dry out (and heat back up!), and several are much sturdier.

We’ve been in a bit of a dry spell the past few weeks, so I don’t have any pictures. Fingers crossed we get the promised rain this week - I’ll happily look for some! :blush:
