Prairie Fairy Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 For years, I have been taking photos of mushrooms I find on my hikes. And getting tons of poison ivy and seed ticks because of it. I love seeing photos of what other hunters are coming across on this website so hopefully I can show you guys whats popping up in the Kansas area (lots right now). I eat mushrooms but no one else in my family really likes them (or maybe they don't trust me not to poison them) so I don't hunt for foraging purposes. I just love taking pictures of them, trying to ID and learn more about them. I see there are some very knowledgeable folks on here and I am hoping to learn some things and up my mushroom ID-ing game. My 7 year old son has taken an interest with me and we have been learning a lot together. I have a website, its nothing special, mostly just for my own enjoyment purposes here is a link to the mushroom specific page. https://ksmushrooms.blogspot.com/ I also have a page just for wildflowers, butterflies. If you see any photos on my site that are interesting, I would love to know which ones. After this post I am heading over to the forum to post my recent finds on my hike this weekend. I thought I would include my favorite mushroom find to date: (Correct me if I'm wrong) A giant bunch of Oak Bracket - Inonotus Dryadeus - I didn't know anything like this existed until I saw it with my own eyes. And it was hard to get a photo due to steep and wooly location! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CajunShroomer3578 Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 Welcome aboard!! Very friendly and knowledgeable folks here. Really cool website you have there. Been in a major drought here in South Louisiana. Usually this time of the year I’m filling bags with wild edibles. Pretty big bummer l Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty big bummer l Thank you for taking the time to look at my site- And for welcoming me. Hopefully this fall will make up for our hot dry summer. I just don't know if coral type mushrooms grow in my particular area but getting a photo of something like that is my next GOAL. Would love a pic of dead mans finger, fly agaric, lion's mane mushroom all on the list. Happy hunting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
