Bonus photo of shaggy taken from underneath. I'm not sure whether the red liquid came from the fungus of the log it's growing from. This is a splitgill mushroom - Schizophyllum commune - and will look very different if it lives to maturity (something already ate half of it)

Photo of a creamy white fungus that looks like a fountain has frozen in mid-air and then formed stalactites.

Photo of a cluster of white mushrooms growing from the side of a log. Short stems grow sidewayes then bend up, topped with a wide shallow cap with white gills.

Photo, taken from underneath, of a cluster of cream-coloured fungi shaped like tiny pingpong bats growing from a rotting log. Instead of gills, they have lots of little holes that are neatly arranged around the perimeter and then infilled to cover the whole underside, except for the handle-shaped stem.

Black and grey fungi
#Mushtodon #Sporespondence #Mushrooms #Fungi #Tasmania #TasmanianForest #Black #Grey #Gray

Photo of a small mushroom with rounded cap growing in grass. The cap and stem are pale grey that looks like it's been painted over using a darker grey satin-finish paint. A bit of light grey shows through the cap, looking like it could use a second coat of paint. The stem is streaky like it was painted using vertical strokes and there wasn't enough paint on the brush.

Photo of a fungus the shape of a closed crab claw sticking up out of some grass. It is very black and not at all shiny, making it look like black suede.

Photo of a row of four round flat grey fungi growing on an old log. Each has a slight indentation in the centre and is a bit shiny, making them look like buttons that have been attached a bit too closelt together.

Photo of a more mature version of the first grey mushroom. Its cap has opened and flattened, showing large white gills. It looks like the painting is finished on the top of the cap, but the stem is still streaky. A couple of smaller ones can be seen in the distance.

Photo of a puffball mushroom growing in leaf litter.It has a base the looks like a piece of pale leather has been cut into a 7-pointed star, and then the centre moulded into a cup shape. In the cup sits a brown ball with a pale-rimmed dark brown circle in the centre. In the very middle is a small hole that looks like an iris to allow the spores to escape.

Photo of a group of small mushrooms growing from the fide of a log. Their hemispherical caps are light brown with darker speckles and white rims. The white stems are covered with shiny clear gluten that puddles towards the base.

Photo of a fan-shaped shelf fungus growing out of a tree trunk, and attached just by the dark brown base of the fan. The fan has a few radial grooves and is a deep caramel colour with some slightly redder areas.

Another angle on yesterday's Ganoderma. This is a patch of gravel outside our kitchen door where this mushroom has been fruiting yearly since I moved here. The patch last year was massive.

Unlike previous specimens, these have short stems, which G. sessile normally lacks. But here's Michael Kuo on that subject:

"Ganoderma sessile can be confused with several similar North American species—especially Ganoderma curtisii. Ostensibly, the latter species has a fairly well-developed stem, while Ganoderma sessile does not ("sessile," by the way, is Mycologese for "without a stem"). However, both species are fully capable of breaking the stem rules, and do so often."

#Mushtodon #Sporespondence #Mushrooms #Fungi #Tasmania #TasmanianForest #Red

Photo of the top of a mushroom growing on the side of a log. This one looks like a pottery bowl. Imagine taking a thin disk of clay and stretching it a little so the edges had large waves and a dip in the middle. Finish it in a mottled red glaze with flecks of brown that settle in the dip. Once complete, fill the bowl with water.

Photo of a family of four bright red mushrooms growing from the dark of a log. Their stems are long and slender with a shiny clear coating of gluten. The caps of the two larger ones are like small pointed cones and the two smaller ones are rounded. Everything is the same even red colour.

Photo of a mushroom growing in some grass, with a second one in the distance. The stem and flattish cap are the same shade of a rich dark red. The top of the cap has a fine suede-like texture and the stem is slightly rough.

I think I'll do 'shrooms instead of windows today. Sometimes when I'm out shooting I lose track of what I'm doing. It was challenging to get myself in the right position to frame this shot, and I forgot to check my aperture setting in all the excitement. I was wide open when I should have been at f/8, so there's more out of focus than I would like. Gotta remember to keep an eye on the exposure triangle.

Photo of a cluster of mushrooms, taken slightly from below, growing from the side of a log. As they are all the same species, but different sizes, they look like a family with two parents, three children and a tiny baby at the bottom.
Their slightly shiny caps have vertical pin-stripes and are light olive green at the top, changing to a very bright orange at the bottoms. The gills and thick stems are also orange.

Photo of a cluster of intensely orange mushrooms growing in some grass. The shape and texture makes them look a lot like macarons. Do not eat the musharons.

Photo of a cluster of orange mushrooms growing on a wet piece of wood. They have short stems and the caps look like soft squooshy balls that might be orange flavoured. Don't eat the squooshy balls.

Photo of a pastel orange mushroom growing in mossy soil. Instead of a separate cap, the stem suddenly gets much wider at the top, resulting in something that looks like a funnel with a turned-down lip. The funnel is brighter orange towards the centre.

Photo of two leather fungi growing one above the other on the side of a mossy log. The fungus looks like it has been torn from the non-shiny side of a piece of leather and then painted with lines of watercolours that blend into each other. At its base, the lines are brown, getting paler until, just in from the edge the lines have reddish edges and then suddenly change to a very bright yellow along the edges.

Photo of spiney little bright yellow capless fungi growing on a smooth log. They look like someone rolled plasticine into strands then posed them to look like flames on the set of a play. Some fork halfway, and the tips are very slightly orange.

This is the 'truffle like' mushroom Rossbeevera pachydermis named after my late colleague Ross Beever. I sliced it in half for the photo to show the inside spore mass.

The idea of the Wood Wide Web - that trees communicate with each other via a network of symbiotic fungi in their roots - has become increasingly popular over the last few years. But turns out it might be entirely false.

A fascinating read by some of the very people who helped spread that idea in the first place. Now this is science.

- [ ] Two little brown mushrooms with slender brown stems standing tall from a downward slant of thick green moss. The caps, shaped like parasols, are backlit so that the lines of the gills stand out distinctly. One is twice as tall as the other. They look elegant and a little magical. In the background a strand of cedar is a blurry series of pale dots, hanging horizontally out of the moss slope and against a dark green-black background. A contrast of light and dark.

"A cluster of giant mushrooms has popped up at Cockatoo Lake Recreation Reserve near Naracoorte in regional South Australia to the delight of residents.

The mushrooms are believed to be large boletes, Phlebopus marginatus, which are not commonly reported in regional South Australia.

Boletes are considered to be Australia's largest terrestrial mushroom and usually appear after soaking rains during autumn." #Australia #SouthAustralia #mushrooms #fungi #Naracoorte #boletes

The Turkey Tail mushroom, also known as Trametes versicolor or Coriolus versicolor, grows on dead hardwood trees throughout the world.This particular dead tree was just loaded with these fungi that seem to grow in layers vertically up the tree and make a lovely nature abstract.

4) Researchers at Tohoku University attached electrodes to mushrooms to track their electrical signal transfers after rain ⚡ 🍄

More interesting research on mycelial networks! Plus, it's lab confirmation of what mushroom hunters already know about how lightning affects fungi growth

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)

Moss and small green plants growing on the ground; in the middle of them, what appear to be a group of mushrooms in various stages of their life cycle, from light brown with domed tops, to medium brown with flat tops, to slimy black. Or are they different species?
