#Fungus
Occasionally I write some free light horror (or are they humor?) stories for the spooky season inspired by my hobby photography. I just posted one of them at the no-paywall site Vocal Media.

Myrtle Rust. It's the time of year. In WA, watch for it escaping the Kimberly. Why? Check the NSW advice for dealing with the infection:
Removal of infected parts or whole plants
Removing plants infected with myrtle rust, or pruning infected plant parts, can help reduce disease spread and minimise chance of future infection. Affected plants should be removed and disposed of appropriately to minimise the spread of myrtle rust:
Spray infected and nearby plants with a fungicide to kill spores 3-4 days prior to removalBefore being removed, smaller plants and plant parts should be enclosed in a plastic bagLarger plants that do not fit in bags can be cut into smaller pieces and covered with black plastic for 3-4 weeks in a sunny spot. This process is called solarisation and kills remaining sporesWhen disposing of plants, small plants enclosed in plastic bags can be put in a normal waste bin - NOT the green waste bin. Larger plants can be taken to the tip - NOT the green waste section

Kann mir jemand erklären, warum der mit so vielen Tropfen bedeckt ist?
Ich kenne Guttation von meinen Zimmerpflanzen, wenn das Substrat nass ist. Dieses Foto ist aber an einem sehr trockenen Sommertag entstanden. Der Fluss in unmittelbarer Nähe hat kein Wasser geführt. Das hat mich (in meinem Laienverständnis) damals sehr gewundert.

Does anyone have experience with the #BirchBracket #fungus? I foraged one yesterday (so technically still #FungiFriday ?) and dried it at 50° C. Apparantely one brews a bitter digestive tea from it, but I don't even know how much one would use for a cup.
This week we welcome to the press page Colleen Anderson, author of the poem “The Fungal Force: A History” in The Future Fire #66 http://press.futurefire.net/2023/09/micro-interview-with-colleen-anderson.html
#microinterview #speculativefiction #sfpoetry #fungus #ecoSF
Noch ein paar Worte zum Knollenblätterpilz. Die oft kolportierte #Legende vom „nahezu identischen Doppelgänger“ als simple Erklärung für die immer wieder auftretenden Vergiftungen sollte ad acta gelegt und nicht immer wieder aufs Neue verbreitet werden. Es ist nicht der heimtückische #Pilz, sondern es sind Unkenntnis, Ignorieren von Merkmalen und Leichtsinn, möglicherweise auch Nachahmung des Sammelns ohne Hintergrundwissen, die in die Katastrophe führen.
Mit ein bischen Sachverstand ist das Sammeln von #Champions kein Problem. Da gibt es weitaus größere Risiken bei anderen Pilzen, zum Beispiel beim beliebten #Stockschwämmchen und seinem tödlich giftigen Verwechslungspartner, dem Nadelholz- oder #Gifthäubling. Kein Pilz für Anfänger oder Fortgeschrittene. Selbst alte Hasen tun sich gelegentlich schwer, diese beiden auseinander zu halten.
The often-circulated #legend of the "almost identical doppelganger" as a simple explanation for the recurring poisonings should be put aside and not spread over and over again. It is not the insidious #fungus, but ignorance, ignorance of characteristics and light-mindedness, possibly also imitation of collecting without background knowledge, that lead to the disaster.
With a bit of expertise, collecting #champions is not a problem. There are far greater risks with other mushrooms, for example the popular hollyhock sponge and its fatally poisonous confusion partner, the coniferous wood or poisonous subhumain. Not a mushroom for beginners or advanced hobbyists. Even old hands occasionally find it difficult to tell these two apart.

Good morning! So a beautiful #parasol mushroom 🤩 I would also like to have times on my list of finds! During yesterday's round in the forest there was nevertheless a rather rare #fungus to marvel at (#thesmallthings)
spiny beard, beech spiny beard
(HERICIUM CORALLOIDES)
It is edible and considered a medicinal or vital mushroom. But since it is listed on the #RedList, it was 'just look, don't touch'!

Found this mushroom while on a walk down at Lily Creek, any idea what it is?

"Thus the power of fungi — to transform, destroy, deconstruct and resurrect — holds an almost sacred allure as industrial modernity falls apart at the seams and we are left to face its mess."

Yesterday, I also went for a walk in the autumnal forest. Just being there, the peace and silence away from the noise of the city, is balm for the soul. And the disappointment is limited when there are no #boletus, #marron or #chanterelles. Here are a few pictures of the Green-leaved #sulphur head - Sulphur tuft - Hypholoma fasciculare , the poisonous #partner in confusion of the edible grey-leaved sulphur head. Especially when the #fungus is already a bit older, the green tone fades a bit, but with these young specimens the green of the #lamellae shone like the luminous digits of a clock.

Fungi are amazing.
You probably already know this, from food to antibiotics to industrial uses, the humble fungus can do great things.
Now, Australian and Hong Kong scientists have created living mycelial sheets that are fire resistant, making them perfect for use as building materials without negative health impacts.
Will these fungal sheets be in your walls someday soon?

I've been out scouting for Downy Mildew after two rain events within a week and it's been overcast since. Lo and behold - new infections on leaves. This is on young Syrah, but I've seen it in all the other blocks I've checked so far - Cinsault, Carignan, Merlot. I'm thinking to apply some copper to protect these leaves, as we still have lots of time for photosynthesis before the first frost...

Weil er so schön ausschaut, noch mal aus anderer Perspektive, ein #Pilz aus der Gattung der #Helmlinge, die mit weit über 100 Arten in Europa vertreten ist. Helmlinge sind - soweit bekannt - KEINE Speisepilze!
Because it looks so beautiful, here is another perspective of a #fungus from the genus of #helminths, which is represented in Europe with well over 100 species. Helminths are - as far as known - NOT edible mushrooms!

this is a wonderful scientific journey through the tibetan himalaya in search of a prized caterpillar fungus.
Incredible mushroom my sister came upon today, had to share this to the #FungiVerse.
As far as we can tell this is volvariella bombycina aka tree mushroom. Silkkituppisieni in Finnish.
A rare find in Finland. Sighting was made in Southern Finland.
I went walking on a trail in my local park after some heavy rainfall looking for #fungus and found this tiny, delicate one filling the gaps in the tree bark.
I have no idea what it is.
I noticed a huge fungus at the base of an oak tree as I was walking to the shop this morning.
The surface of the fungus had shedloads of droplets of liquid on it, that had oozed out onto the surface. There was even a fly trapped Jurassic Park style in one droplet.
I'm trying to improve my photography at the moment so I've been blogging* some of my photos recently, and I've realised when selecting them that actually, my palette does tend to be creams, golds and blues when I'm shooting in colour.
I was also thinking just how handy it is to have a digital camera that's light enough to always carry, be it in a phone or a dedicated camera, and that it's really good not to have to send a roll of film off for developing at quite some cost before you know what you're really got photo-wise.

(3/3) During our climb to Parachute Rocks, while below the treeline we spied the violet potato #fungus/ Gallacea scleroderma (📷1); woolly bird’s nest fungus/ Nidula niveotomentosa (📷2); yellow brain/ witch’s butter/ Tremella mesenterica (📷3); & yellow fairy cups/ Calycina citrina (📷4).

Folks, what would be a great introductory book to mushroom identification and foraging for mushrooms?
I have seen the book Mushrooms, by Roger Phillips, though I fear that might be too UK specific?
I am EU based so I suppose one that covers that area more? Unless that's not such an important factor.
Also open to learn of other sources of learning such as websites or mobile apps (iOS)

If you love Morel mushrooms, May is the month to search for these delicacies of nature especially in deciduous woods, around Trilliums or other spring flowers or in old orchards. You know it is a real Morel if you slice it and it has a hollow interior, beware the false ones as they can make you sick!

The latest episode of The Infinite Monkey Cage was amazing. An eye-opener.
The Magic of Mushrooms:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0fwww6q
Stuff like:
- fungi don't put food in their bodies, they put their bodies in their food.
- you can think of a tree as a manifestation fungi's desire to be above ground
- fungi have more in common with animals than plants
You have to love the fall season as it is not only stunning with the vibrant foliage colors but is also time for foraging for mushrooms. It was quite a thrill to spot these Giant Puffballs, in Guelph Ontario Canada, as you can't always find them in the forest. They are edible and taste terrific when sliced and fried in butter, yum!

Asking those who know mushrooms: are these all the same type, in different life stages, or are they different mushrooms altogether?
**Edit: I am told these are inky caps, and that they can be used for making ink. I'm ridiculously eager to try that. (Thank you, @JoBlakely)
