#fungifriday - Halloween Shrooms
It has been damp and mild the last couple of days which is perfect for some late October shrooms! I first notice when I looked over the neighbours fence and saw a whole stand? patch? crowd? of 6-inch mushrooms standing tall to celebrate the warm weather.
It inspired me so much, I marched right out and didn’t stop til I reached 10,000 steps. Is should probably post right in the community for greater rewards as I know man @actifit posts get skipped over. I prefer to support the app I joined day 1 years ago and think more people putting effort into telling stories and sharing the experiences of those steps, the rewards and attention will come.
I had a long day finishing off the workweek making the rounds for @town-crier https://towncriermarketing.ca and had most of my steps in by the time I headed to the park. I was there to breath in some fresh air, unwind and let the dog have the time of his life.
Then I looked down again.
I find the closer you look at a mushroom, the neater it looks. Whether on the turf like the title shot, or gathered on this decomposing stump.
Looking closer, it is like transporting yourself to another world. Such rich texture and asymmetric chaos in harmony.
It is a miracle this one survived as it bravely stood on probs my the last warm day of the season with temperatures apparently ready to return to the norm.
We were talking about mycelium networks, how they can apparently survive the vacuum and cold of space. How colliding celestial bodies could splash spores across the galaxy to find a home on life-sustaining planet. Then the prospect of being buried in a mushroom suit like Luke Perry https://orionmagazine.org/article/luke-perry-mushroom-shroud-90210-riverdale/#:~:text=“He%20was%20buried%20in%20that,She%20called%20them%20Infinity%20Mushrooms.
Happy Fungi Friday my psychedelic friends!

I’m a huge wuss when it comes to wild mushrooms. I’m convinced down to my bones that any found in the wild are deadly poison and only store-bought ones won’t kill you. My wife found a huge puffball in the wild the other day. Chopped it up and cooked it with a bit of soy sauce. I watched in horror as she ate it and then put leftovers in the fridge. 24+ hours later, she’s still very much alive. My wussiness is still intact.
Haha I am with you there. Knowing there are poisonous ones out there and I don’t have the skill or the will to develop telling the difference, no thanks.
Kinda like changing my winter tires. I could do it myself but I leave that to the experts and just pay for it to avoid the risk.
Damn those things look cool as hell lol
Yah! Here I was just walking over them and didn’t even notice how cool they were til I looked down. The ones in the first shot were only about the size of a dime but zooming in, they looked neat.
Awesome 'shroom pics! I think the correct termonoligy for them is a colony of 'shrooms. I could also be wrong, lol!
The first picture is interesting in the geometrical lines of the way the 'shroom is formed. Not sure of the variety; never seen one like that here.
The second and third are Turkey Tail. I don't like to eat 'shrooms, but love to photograph them. This one has medicinal properties; I take an encapsulated supplement of this.
Your last one is an Inky Top which is edible. They have a short lifespan and will turn inky black as they deteriorate. Our spring was basically 'shroom-less as was the summer. This fall though, holy cow! There's been a 'shroom explosion here the likes of I've never seen before.
Great pictures and I don't blame you one bit for keeping on walking to find more! Thank you for sharing! Excellent job with your 10621 @actifit steps for the day. Take care!
Wow you know your shrooms!
Lately, when I take a picture of something I wonder the type or species, I google the actual image and it almost always comes up with the details. Either that or put them up on Hive as we are a global hive brain of intelligence!
Apparently, the first one is a pleated inkcap parasola and is indeed poisonous. https://www.first-nature.com/fungi/parasola-plicatilis.php
Thank you @zekepickleman! I don't care for the taste of mushrooms, but I love to take pictures of them as there are so many details we can't see as we can't get low enough to the ground to see them. However, my phone does!
I enjoy looking at and learning about them. I also know there is a mushroom call Chicken of the Woods, that in essence looks like a huge thing covered in cheddar cheese like Cheetos are. It too, is edible, but no amount of coercion can get me to try that either, lol!
Enjoy your adventures! Take care!
So, there are probably planets ruled by Shrooms. I know of such games, at least. Although I do not remember the names of the games.
Should we launch more mushrooms in space? Or do they launch themselves?
I think we try and influence the universe less and not more as humans. Those spores can make their own way and I will just stick to admiring them ;)
These mushroom actually look so cool. Are they edible
@elizabethbit gives a little more info in her comment. Apparently one is edible and the other has medicinal qualities!
I've never seen the kind of mushroom in the first image before in my life.
I hope it is not one of those poisonous muchrooms?
Could be. I am not going to eat anything that grows in the dogs park!

Such beautiful mushrooms that could be deadly or edible. The other looks like a pathway created for a creature's passage.😅
Well done on over 10,000 steps. Keep being active and a lot healthier 💕
