Some Old Men of The Woods and a little Ringless Honey cluster. Honestly, the Old Man weren't my favorite to eat - too mushy, but they are very cool looking. #fungifriday #fungifriends

Not just any mushroom gets its own photoshoot. Probably some of the prettiest mushrooms I have EVER seen. ID as Amanita Jacksonii, from the g-lens search. #fungifriends #amanita

Cutting board love. Winecap, Mini-golden oyster clusters, garlic, and onion (tops) ready for dinner. The best tasting meals are homegrown and foraged. #fungifriends

This was the only one, after a couple hours hiking. A half free morel is a nice sight. This was under an Elm tree. #fungifriends #morel

A half free morel mushroom blends in well with the valley leaf litter.

A large heart-shaped mushroom. Check comments for scale. #fungifriends #heart

In the night, a large heart-shaped mushroom clings to a tree. In the comments is shown a picture of a hand next to it for comparison.

Hopefully y'all are able to see this. My videos have always failed on BS and so many exist! Just trying to bring a little joyous break from the daily...for all the people on the right side of history.💛 #fungifriends #mycology

I put some garden tomatoes in the dehydrator to preserve them. These Purple Bumblebee slices look like stained glass! #garden #tomato

A poorly drawn sign; at work, alerting the landscape dude Oysters are fruiting! Read the Alt text for a little more info. #fungifriends #oystermushroom #mycology

A sign protected by a plastic zip lock reads "Don't wack me bro" and has a badly drawn (typical) mushroom. This was for the landscape crew at my work; since there is a nice flush of Oyster mushrooms growing on and old stump. These are right next to the corpse finger mushroom I posted a few weeks ago. We only use organic lawn care - so no worries. This is the 3rd or 4th year these have produced and each time they are so good to take home and cook up.

Beautiful small Golden Oyster 🍄 cluster. The inidividual caps were no larger than a 50 cent piece. #fungifriends #mycology #dailyshroom #yellow

Golden Oyster mushrooms grow on at the base of a dead tree near the Valley floor.

Freaky #fungifriday "Corpse Fingers" Xylaria polymorpha, right outside my work! 2nd year I've noticed them. #fungifriends #mycology #freaky

Mushrooms, looking like a human hand, protrude from the ground.

Jack o' lanterns🎃. I wish I could have went back after dark but this was pretty far off-trail and it was raining. Check the comment for a view of the small village of these freaks. #fungifriends #dailyshroom #pumpkin #ferns

Numerous Jack o' Lantern mushrooms hug the foot of a large tree with some ferns accompanying.

I was alone I was all by myself No one was looking I was thinking of you #mycology #fungifriends #greenday

A lone mushroom pokes out from the Valley Floor. It is surrounded by leaf litter and floor decay. There is also a lone centipede (bottom left, by the small white stone)
