Some fantastic dried wild mushrooms from my Thai friend, Nong. All foraged from Vancouver Island. In the mix are pine, morel, lobster & chanterelles 🙂

Releasing spores
#nature #naturephotography #mushroom #mushrooms #fungi #fungus #spores #summer #backlight
Most mushrooms release their spores from their undersides through a catapult like action that shoots the spores out with incredible speed and force.
This Varnished Polypore was in the firing range of nearby mushrooms and itself, getting its top (!) covered with creamy brown spores. I rubbed away a heart-shaped patch to expose the mushroom’s normal appearance.
That’s a LOT of spores.

Hallo Naturfreunde im Besonderen, die Pilzliebhaber unter euch. Seit kurzer Zeit wachsen neben dem Stamm unserer Schefflera Pilze. Da ich null Ahnung habe (nein, will sie nicht essen!) von der Materie, könnt ihr mir vielleicht weiter helfen.
Ist dieser schädlich für die Pflanze ?
Wegen der Reichweite wäre ein teilen/boosten sicher gut. 😉

📰 Mushrooms Used to Clean E. Coli from Rivers and Immediately Implemented in England 🍄 💧
🗒 "The application was ever so simple: a bag of woodchips impregnated with turkey tail spores left at the bottom of the river. The mycelia, or filament system of the mushroom, filtered out 80% of the E. coli, 83% of the phosphorous, and 35% of the nitrogen."

🐟🧪 Biologists from #Acadia University and the University of #BritishColumbia studied how #psilocybin affects the behavior of the aggressive mangrove rivulus #fish.
#Data indicated that the compound reduces territorial displays while allowing normal social interactions to continue. The findings suggest that the psychoactive ingredient in magic #mushrooms can dampen social conflict in #vertebrates.

I thought those were droppings of a deer but a closer inspection revealed they were very small (1-2 cm) mushrooms.
Not sure what they are 🤔. Dark gills underneath.

By selecting different fungal strains, the scientists grew a flexible material for the upper boot and a sturdy, supportive material for the sole.

Throwback Saturday
Today's task is to look for a snap with a #background theme. This pic from 2018 of a newly emergent shroom is as much about the #bokeh. It was shot with a a Konishiroku 47mm f1.9 taken from a fixed lens #Konica rangefinder and helicoid mounted on Sony A7ii.
finally had a (partially) not-rainy day out Saturday, so new bundle for #MushroomMonday ... getting out REALLY helps with mindfulness and mental health

We had our first fresh #mushrooms of the year for lunch yesterday. Couldn't find many of them, just the four because they prefer growing out of melting snow that we didn't have this early spring, but they are substantial and were healthy so we added a few young #asparagus spears and parsley greens from the garden to the meal and, together with a dandelion greens salad picked at the #forest margins, it was well worth the slightly frustrating weekend walk in the #woods.
“They really seem like the first responders,” says Fischer. “They’re the things that are growing the most rapidly first.”
So, whatever these #fungi are up to—biologically speaking—likely impacts the rest of post-fire succession and recovery, she says.
