Mushrooms, plenty this year!

I can't believe you got a mushroom!

Haven't seen any here yet...

after today I think I'll be seeing some

Got some shrooms popping up but im not the least bit shocked with the amount of humidity we've had.

No shrooms but tons of dog vomit slime mold, looks really nasty but I read up on it and it's completely harmless to the plants

Would make a great punk rock band name.

proabably already is, I'm not up on any of the new bands, listening to rock station dj comes on and lists the bands that just played one was "Saliva"

Had some erotic looking fungus in the hosta bed the other day......my son found it, so I didn't tell him the proper name....

salvia can be a drug.. think that's why the name Jen

ask Miley, She knows.

Heehee, my 16 yr old great nephew who will be an eagle scout candidate this year, who is a counselor at a camp this week for kids who have Down's Syndrome, and whois a growler in a band. The band's name- Lobotomize the Leader. Otto is 6'5" and wears a size 15 shoe. The name cracks me up. There are some way-out names.

onewish, I believe it was "saliva", as in "spit", not salvia.

hee hee thanks McCool, yes that is correct saliva as in spit, LOL

ok so I can't read.. LOL

#1.) Found these on my walk around the back-forty yesterday morning.
# 2 & 3) This is what they looked like this morning after yesterday's rain storm.

Wow!!

Saw some pretty pinky ones down at the dam the other day......wish I knew the variety....

amazing this time of the year to see them

knew I'd find something after all this rain

That's an interesting one.....this is the time of year my Dad would head out for them....but he also went in Oct. for a different variety....wish I had paid more attention to what he picked....

Nice, Jen.

Probably Morel, Marilyn.

No....no morels....ones he called chestnuts, and 2 other varieties that I cannot recall...plus hen of the woods....I only ate the hen of the woods since they are a fungus, not a mushroom, & I didn't think they could be confused with anything poisonous....

Nice Jen, I was thinking the same thing...all this humidity and rain should build a nice growing condition for them.
It did!!

a few more

last ones......

Nice variety....will have to go looking on my walk today...

Geez, that second to last one looks like a satellite dish it's so big

I hope you picked that giant puffball this time. I got greedy one year and left one too long, thinking it might get even bigger, but instead it just became too old and inedible.

Not all puffballs are edible.....

Agreed, if they are black in the middle instead of white all the way through, they aren't edible. I don't think that that type ever gets so big.

Thanks.....if I'm lost in the woods, I hope I remember that! I think I found a large clump of hen (chicken, I'm never sure which) of the woods......but I won't touch it unless someone can ID it for me.....

Thanks for that info McCool!
Just 2 more although the bigger one is still growing. :) I've noticed more of the little button ones this year than ever before.

Could this be fly agaric? There are plenty there.

cool shot rosemary

saw some chicken of the forest on our walk today i will go and pick some tomorrow!!

Yes, Rosemary, that's just what it is.....Lucky you, Bill...they are delish!

Any Ideas?

Looks like Armillariella

Does kind of. The caps are rounded a bit more. Dont matter I aint eating them.

No, I won't eat any unless they're from the store!

I've found myself walking alot lately...wandering is more the term. Anyways, i've come across some lovely clumps of shrooms in my journeys.
