Yesterday we did powdercaps, today let’s do some bleeding mycena/Mycena haematopus. This is 1 of 5. #fungifriends #mycology #forestfloor #naturephotography #fungi

The very first Lichenomphalia umbellifera lichens I found. I think you can see why I lost my mind over them and am still obsessed with them. Distance shot below ⬇️ #fungifriends #fungi #mycology #naturephotography

Flat cap photo four of four, but this one from the underneath. Chrysomphalina. #fungifriends #fungi #mycology #naturephotography

Today, proof that you don’t need to find a fancy fungus to take interesting photos. All photos today will be bonnets, the most common mushroom you’ll find in these parts. This is one of six. #fungifriends #fungi #naturephotography #mycology #fungisky #forestfloor

Lichenomphalia umbellifera, my obsession with this lichen continues! They are all so unique. Reminder: lichens are a symbiotic combination of fungi and algae. Most take the form of their algae component but this one reflects its mushroom side. #fungifriends #fungi #mycology #naturephotography

Fairy parachutes/Marasmiellus candidus, when they open all the way up they look really cool. I had the perfect lighting that day too. #fungifriends #fungi #mycology #naturephotography

Deceivers, possibly Laccaria amethysteo-occidentalis? Since a lot of deceivers have purple tones all over or underneath it’s hard to ID them unless you really know your stuff, and I am no expert. Going to post a few other purple deceivers to show you #fungifriends #fungi #mycology #naturephotography

I’m going to start posting one waxcap a day because, folks, I have a LOT of them! They are my fav and I can’t pass by one without taking its photo. First one. #fungifriends #fungisky #forestfloor #mycology #fungi #naturephotography

Mycenaceae, I love finding fungi off the ground. It means I don’t have to get dirty or be mistaken for a dead body lying on the ground (this has happened many times) and I can get a nice clean view of them. #fungifriends #fungi #mycology #naturephotography

Mushrooms enjoying the day. #fungi #fungifriends #mycology #hiking #photography
