Mushrooms are the reproductive organs, after all…
Went on a trip to Northern Wisconsin last week and must have seen 8 different species of mushrooms on a single hike! Let me know if you’d like me to post some others :)...
Amanita phalloides...

Every summer in my neighborhood, this one tree will fruit a silky rosegill and we have standing permission from the homeowner to harvest it. This year, looks like there are two. I wish I’d passed by the tree earlier this week before the big one started to shrivel.
Little smaller than my hand.
Day 4 of growing Pleurotus ostreatus cultures from spore. Only one plate got contaminated, but it was bad. There are two contaminant fungi going to battle, and around three possible bacterial colonies. I must have been losing it at the end, haha! Can’t wait to see how they progress!
From the left to the right (in the attached photo): two jars of Pleurotus ostreatus spores (now mycelium) growing in grain, two jars of P. ostreatus liquid culture cloned from agar, and two jars of Pleurotus pulmonarius liquid culture cloned from agar....
Anyone know more about the cause? It’s happened to me a couple times with cultures that proved clean. My best guess is temperature fluctuation, it’s pretty hot here
These pop up in this spot every year around this time. They get huge and there’s probably about half a dozen clumps like this...
It grows on decaying pine wood
Looked exactly like a tongue emerging from the soil…
Found these while leading a field trip today!
