A little mushroom in its own little room.

A little mushroom with an orange stalk and light brown cap growing on a weathered tree stump that's partially covered and surrounded by moss with a vivid green color. The tree stump has the form of a stair with two steps and has a hole in the horizontal center of the upper step. The mushroom is right in there with moss growing on top of the upper step creating a "roof" for the mushroom. There's two dark brown mushrooms on the side of the stump.

A colony of unknown mushrooms grows on a hollow log transformed into a spring fountain in the German Black Forest

A hollow log was put horizontally as a spout for a natural spring in the forest, the water cascades out of it in a thin drizzle. The log is covered with a colony of brown-gold colored mushrooms with a flat cap. On both sides of the spring, the ground is covered in lush vegetation

It has been a fungal fall in NorCal. In Willow Creek this morning. Running through wet fern jungles, redwood and bays. And the mushroom jungles shine below.

I found the tiniest little #mushroom in my backyard.

#FungiFriday

A very teeny tiny yellow mushroom, with an oblong head is emerging from the twigs and dirt amongst fallen leaves that are all much bigger than it is.

The Classic fly agaric on a very pine needle cluttered urban forest floor, one large orange umbrella hovering over a smaller, younger red cap, almost like a mother protecting her child

Behold this metal af mushroom that showed up in our yard! Last night it had the classic, domed mushroom shape. By morning it had turned into this!

How to describe this magnificent fungi. It sprouts up from the spiky, redwood leaf litter on a smooth, cream colored stalk - maybe 10-15cm tall (but what do I know as an American 🙄). What was last night a tall, domed cap the same color as the stem transformed overnight into a disk shape ringed with shiny, almost metallic black fronds that curl under. Other gray mushroom anatomy going on inside the ring.

These goldenhaired inkcaps (Parasola auricoma) only last for a few hours. I had lucky timing. #nature #mushroom #mushrooms #mushtodon #fungi

A top-down view of three tiny goldenhaired inkcaps clustered together in green grass in the sun. The open ones have a soft grey-gold-brown coloring and a perfect pleated parasol shape.

ALT

A side view shows a peek of grey-brown gills and a lighter-colored, kind of waxy-looking stem.

ALT

A section torn out of the cap shows a little more of the fine gill structure and the texture of the stem.

Now we're cooking with gas! A 5km walk netted many chanterelles (Cantharellus flavolateritius)(haven't weighed them yet), some fresh dryad's saddle (Cerioporus squamosus), two old men of the woods (Strobilomyces strobilaceus), a black velvet bolete (Tylopilus alboater) and some white-pored chicken of the woods (Laetiporus cincinnatus.) I'll have plenty to share with my friends and family, but my work cut out with the cleaning! #nature #fungi #mushroom #mushrooms #mushtodon #foraging

A countertop is laden with mushrooms. Two large bowls are piled with chanterelles, which are irregular trumpet-fan-shaped mushrooms of a peachy yellow color. Two large lobes of dryad's saddle lay on the table, cream white with a radiating pattern of brown scales. Two meaty cap-and-stem mushrooms that appear to be covered in tufts of black hair are old man of the woods. They are next to the black velvet bolete, a small lumpy velvety black mushroom. Finally, a pile of white-pored chicken of the woods are spread out. They are softly lobed rounded fan shapes that are covered in tiny white pores on one side and radiating soft orange and peach zones on the other.

Y a un champignon qui a poussé vite sous l'un de mes érables de terrasse 🌳🍄
Il est gros j'trouve et je m'y attendais pas.
Il est beau aussi 🥰
Apparemment c'est un "Leucocoprinus birnbaumii".

Ça pousserait souvent dans les plantes en pot.
Ça abîme pas la plante mais c'est pas comestible.
Faut faire attention si on a des petits et des animaux. Je pense que ma chatte Dora s'en fout donc ça va.
Bref j'aime bien cette surprise ☺️

Photo de près du champignon. Il doit faire cinq centimètres de haut et n'est pas encore ouvert. Il est blanc jaune avec une grosse tête.

Did you know that sudden #deaths in #Chinese villagers are still a #mystery?

Since 1978, the Chinese Centre for the Prevenion & Control of Diseases has recorded ~ 400 cases of villagers in Yunnan province suddenly & mysteriously dying. Both children & adults have died, & almost always during the monsoon season at an elevation of 1800m - 2400m.

There are 3 working theories for the Yunnan Sudden Death Syndrome:

1) Keshan disease - an illness caused by selenium deficieny paired with the Coxsackievirus
2) Water pollution with Barium
3) #Mushroom #poisoning - 'Little White' (Trogia venenata), a mushroom native to the area & gathered by villagers was determined in 2010 to be the likely cause. The mushroom contains Barium, too.

Option 3) was favoured initially, but a paper in 'Applied and Environmental Microbiology' from 2012, found that the Barium levels were too low to be the likely cause.

Some villages lost a third of their population.
