Wow, just look at these chonky boys! Tinder fungus #mushrooms in The Hague Forest. #fungifriends

Kelli 💖 @kelligurl.bsky.social · 08/03/2025

I was so excited to find this jumbo boy in The Hague Forest!! (I forgot to bring my euro for scale, so I had to use my finger.) I think this #mushroom might be a type of chicken-of-the-woods? #fungifriends

I'm visiting the Netherlands and scheduled a few hours to explore The Hague Forest. I was really excited to find some new #mushrooms to photograph. And what's the first one I find? Turkey tail. 8 hours on a plane, an hour on a train, just to find what I see every day back home 😂 #fungifriends

Found these guys in The Hague Forest and they have got the funniest name! From my ID app: "This #mushroom is not very tasty or cake-like. It became known in English as 'King Alfred's Cake' due to its resemblance to the British king's famous failed attempts at learning to bake." #fungifriends

King Alfred's Cake mushrooms, aka carbon balls and coal fungus

Scrolling through some photos from this past October and I had to share this lovely cluster of inkcap #mushrooms. They just look like a tiny little fairy village, and I love them! #fungifriends

Out for a walk today and got a picture of some tiny #mushrooms. I thought they looked familiar, and checked through my past photos once I got home. Sure enough, I've seen these exact guys before! Kind of surprised by how little they've changed in two months. #fungifriends

Kelli 💖 @kelligurl.bsky.social · 02/03/2025

Anyone know what these little guys are? My #mushroom ID app had several suggestions, but none looked quite right. I guess I didn't get clear enough photos #fungifriends

A bit of rain always coaxes these darling bark bonnet #mushrooms out of hiding. But one sunny afternoon is enough to erase all sign of them #fungusfriday #fungifriends

"Why are you like this?" -my dog, probably. Sometimes I wonder if anyone is secretly spying on me/recording me through my devices, and if they appreciate all the songs I make up about my dog more than she does. Today's was opera style, with "stinky baby" lyrics. A real bop imo #petmom #dogs #furbaby

Okay but like, how cute is this little guy? I'm pretty sure it's an oak mazegill #mushroom #fungifriends

Spotted in the woods after a fresh snowfall. I'm not sure I would have noticed this little #mushroom fairy house if it hadn't snowed! I hope this makes you smile like it made me smile 😊 #fungifriends

So much going on with these #mushrooms! I loved this perfect little cup of snow, surrounded by a whole neighborhood party of different #fungifriends

The way the sunlight illuminated these jelly ear #mushrooms like nature's stained glass windows 🤩 #fungifriends #mushroommonday

Every time a winter storm rolls in, I have to check on the turkey tail #mushrooms by my house. My little #fungifriends are going strong today and look so cute all sprinkled with snow

It's a #snowday, so here's a flashback from my first time taking pictures of wild #mushrooms - July 2021. I didn't know to get pictures from all angles to help with ID, but I put my best guesses in the alt text. It's fun to see how my current hobby started as random photos on a hike! #fungifriends

Wild mushroom cap, probably a rosy russula

Wild mushroom, probably a destroying angel

Field of wild mushrooms, probably a type of chanterelle

Here's a picture of #myvalentine finally capturing a kingfisher on camera. I love going on long walks through the parks, helping each other look for our favorite photography subjects: birds for him, mushrooms for me. I love sharing simple joys together! #relationshipgoals

While the tops of these 🍄 might appear similar at first glance, examining them from a different angle makes it easy to distinguish between the jagged pores of the violet-toothed polypore and the smooth bottom of the false turkey-tail. I love learning how to identify #mushrooms! #fungifriends

Loving the glow up on these (enoki?) #mushrooms! Pictures taken a day apart, after getting over half an inch of rain in #Pittsburgh yesterday evening. Same camera settings, no filters, and they just looked so much more vibrant today! #naturephotography #fungifriends

Kelli 💖 @kelligurl.bsky.social · 09/02/2025

Saw a new #mushroom today! My app identified it as deadly gallerina / funeral bell. Which can look really similar to wild enoki. Yikes 😬 This is why I'm happy to stick to #photography and leave the foraging to the experts! #fungifriends

I have my fair share of pictures using my fingers and hands for scale! The coins were my partner's idea, because I kept complaining about how I didn't like seeing my dry skin and cuticles when using a macro lens haha

Saw this gorgeous guy basking in the winter sun. Asked if he'd ever considered a career in modeling. (hexagonal-pored polypore) 🍄 #mushroom #fungifriends

When I was a teenager, I fell in love with Rand and told myself that I needed to find someone who would read with me on a rug in front of the fireplace. Nowadays, the thought of reading in a big cushioned armchair seems more idyllic and romantic 💖📖

Kelli 💖 @kelligurl.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

"The cushioned chair that Tam called his reading chair sat angled before the flames. Rand preferred to do his reading stretched out on the rug in front of the fire."

Kelli 💖 @kelligurl.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

Quand j'étais adolescente, je suis tombée amoureuse de Rand et me disais qu'il fallait trouver quelqu'un qui lirait avec moi sur le tapis devant le foyer. Actuellement, c'est l'idée de lire dans un grand fauteuil à coussins qui me semble le plus idyllique et romantique 💖📖 #booksky #WoT #RoueDuTemps

Deux phrases soulignées: "Le fauteuil garni de coussins que Tam appelait son fauteuil de lecture était placé de biais devant les flammes. Rand préférait lire étalé sur le tapis devant le foyer."

#snowflakes on turkey tail #mushrooms 😍 Definitely worth three full layers of clothes to brave the snowfall in 24°F(-4°C) weather. Had to get in a good walk before the real cold snap arrives and we get down to subzero temperatures this week. #fungifriends #winter #photography
