One of the 'Winners of the 2022 World Nature Photography Awards....."Fungus Horizon” by Mr. Endy (Singapore). Silver, Plants and fungi. Subject: Crepidotus fungus. Location: Windsor Nature Park, Singapore...'

Found this one by a creek while collecting water on a hike last year.

Originally from Australia/New Zealand and imported to Europe, can be found here quite often. The smell is absolutely horrible.

Found today in western Germany

This was very cool to see, if you know what it is please let me know.

Mushrooms are going absolutely crazy here right now 💥

Sorry for the BeReal frame in the corner

Forgot to take a picture without the hand for scale..

It's crazy here right now, everything is full because of the humid weather, you don't even have to go of the tracks

Dog for scale

A somewhat more uncommon find here in western Norway

Two days ago I found a nice Phellodon niger, also known as black tooth. After making a spore print I thought the specimen didn't yield any, because I could hardly make them out. Turns out they are just tiny: 3-5µm! After cranking up the magnification I got a nice picture of them, too.

Turns out both grow in my area, and look identical to this when young. Yikes! So based on a post yesterday, I took this outside and sliced it in half. So far it looks promising (I think?) and I'm not dead yet.

This was found growing in a Colorado yard near the base of an elm tree, in an area where there are also rotting cottonwood roots. Altitude is right at 5000 feet. It wasn't my yard so I'm not sure how many days it may have been growing before I picked it today. I have put both halves in the fridge for now, is there any other information I can provide to help identify it?

These are popping up on our property in Eastern Oregon.

Mold art.....enjoy :)

Not sure if this quite fits this community, but thought it may be interesting

Found in UK, not stumbled upon this before.

This is my first time growing King Oyster mushrooms. They've been in the mostly damp cellar for about 2 weeks now, it's the best I can offer in terms of temperature/moisture/air quality. I gave them water every 3-4 days but I'm not sure if it's enough and I've just cut open the bag to give them more breathing space.

Appreciate any feedback! :)

Is there any way to be be 100% certain?
