Sailing Nomad Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 Whilst out walking the the dog earlier, I couldn't help but notice so many varieties of mushrooms. I never really used to concern myself with fungi, but I have noticed that as I age, I'm becoming quite captivated by them. Is it just me looking out for them as I get older, or are there more mushrooms around than normal this year? I just grabbed some snaps on my old iPhone 5, so sorry for the picture quality, which doesn't really do them justice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoneGone Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 Nice shot on the Fly Agaric! I haven't seen one in person yet. I saw this beast the other day though, a whole bunch: Amanita calyptroderma (Coccora is common name, which I'd be interested to know what 'coccora' means if anyone knows) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never eaten this mushroom, but I have heard it is rather unpleasant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCn15 Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 The 2nd mushrooms is probably a ringless honey mushroom, the 6th is a russula possibly atropropurea, 7th lactarious possibly deliciosus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
