These are some pictures of fungi that I took.
 |
| Auricularia |
 |
| Russula Xerampelina |
 |
These spectacular fungi were found growing on a tree stump!
|
 |
Collybia Fusipes
 |
 |
| Lycoperdon Umbrinum |
 |
| Puffballs( often in genus Calvatia) |
 |
Russula ( not to be confused with fly agaric.)
This type of mushroom does resemble the fly agaric mushroom, but here is how you can tell one from the other. Fly agarics have scales, little white bumps, on their caps, while Russula(shown above) does not. Also, fly agarics can come in yellow or reddish-orange. These Russulas are just in the color bright red, or sometimes even pink. |
 |
| Coral Fungus (Ramaria) |
 |
False Morel
 |
 |
This is a polyporus fungus, meaning that it has pores on its underside.
 |
 |
Fly Agaric (Amanita Muscaria)
 |
 |
| Birds' nest fungus ( Cyathus) |
 |
LBMs (Little Brown Mushrooms)
 |
 |
Sulfur tuft
This fungus is often found in a vibrant yellow color, but these particular specimens are not in the best of conditions. |
 |
| Collared Earthstar |
 |
Morel (Morchella)
These are edible, but NEVER eat wild mushrooms! (see chanterelle for more dramatic way of stating this). Morels are actually considered rare.
|
 |
Lactarius
This type of fungus is known for its 'milk', a viscous fluid that is produced and oozes from the gills of only these mushrooms.
 |
 |
| AuriculariaThis fungus is famous for its jelly-like feeling. Also, the name Auricularia came from the fact that some species of it resemble human ears! |
 |
Chanterelle
These are considered edible, but NEVER EAT WILD MUSHROOMS!!! Chanterelles have a faint smell of apricots. |
 |
Coral Fungus (Ramaria)
I found this in my backyard. |
