Fantastic Fungi Pics

[Jellyfox]

Here some beautiful photos of some fungi I found recently. Keep in mind im a musician and not a photographer, but i thought these were nice enough to share.

First off are some beautiful amanitas growing brilliantly at different stages under pine.

Next are some pics of a strange looking but beautiful wild edible called The Elfin Trumpet mushroom. Notice the swiss cheese look its got goin on!

Finally some very strange but beautiful mushrooms. What could they be???

Nice the top few look like potentially psychedelic aminitas did you pick them and dry them out? Also the last one looks like it maybe a psychoactive one, but have someone else give you a better ID, unless you already know, I'm no mycologist but I did some studying and mushroom hunting of my own within the last few years so am trying to learn.

lol i was joking about not knowing what the last ones were, I actually cultivated those hahaha.

But yes those amanitas were picked in the PNW about an hour out of san francisco and i have used them multiple times from that spot and they are quite powerful.

Personally i like that first photo the best. It highlights the sharp jagged edgy texture of amanitas when theyr'e young. The sharpness of the mushroom speaks to its character.

I had a feeling the last two were homegrown, but didn't want to assume, and as for the wiggly wavy nasty looking black cap ones between aminitas and the last few I wouldn't eat them until I knew for sure. The aminitas I would potentially take a small sample as far as I am aware red ones have no REALLY TOXIC look alikes but the yellow aminitas (Pantherina) has a poisonous look alike call aminitas phaloids I believe.

yeah, all these above are 100% identified.

Those elfin trumpets look so freaking cool.

Absolutely no idea. Never seen those before. Maybe they´re something extra-terrestrial, you better be careful with those :want:

 

[Jellyfox]

extra terrestrial indeed!

I found some A. Muscaria last year. Maybe I will bump into that devious deceptive elf this year also. Just interesting to see something and know what it is!

 

[Jellyfox]

yea, muscaria's a tricky character but still worth the while to build a relationship with.

amanitas are sooo photogenic, love finding them

 

[Jellyfox]

yes, and they are a great Indicator species as well!
