An "unpuffed" puffball mushroom. My partner and I are amateur #mycologists and love mushroom hunting. #ricohgrd

Ok you #mycologists out there... this is a #mushroom (90% sure) that everts its cap to release spores. (At first I thought it was some non-chlorophyll vascular plant.) New one for me and appeared along a roadway I've been walking for years. We are about three days past a significant rain. Wish I had noticed it earlier!

Any idea as to its name? Caps are no more than an inch across.

The land, water and air around us are chock-full of DNA fragments from fungi that #mycologists can’t link to known organisms.

"Considering the vast mycological diversity on the continent, it is a daunting task. Collaborating with citizen #mycologists is therefore hugely beneficial... collaboration also opens avenues for conversation and exploration"

Two new species of Psilocybe mushrooms discovered in southern Africa

Two new species of psychoactive mushrooms in the genus Psilocybe have been described from southern Africa, bringing the list to six known species indigenous to Africa. Psilocybe species are among the most well-known and well-studied species of psychoactive mushrooms in the world, with around 140 described species.

Carole Papion: "My illustrative work is not #BotanicalIllustration, as such. Rather, I work with #illustration as a technique to observe, document and reflect on the everyday activities of specialists as they analyse, preserve, eat, care for or fight #fungi."

Grow and Magnify: An Illustrator's Journey with Mycologists and Fungi

By Carole Papion My journey around Edinburgh Botanic Gardens started about four years ago, where in 2018 I enrolled in a practice-based PhD at the Edinburgh College of Art, to begin a long-running creative enquiry into the relationships between humans and the biological group of Fungi — mainly th

We found this on a tree. Is it a type of #mushroom?
It looked like something spun in from afar but it is not really a web from a spider or caterpillar.

@Fischblog You probably know the #Mycologists here?

Mal eine Frage an die #Biologen im #fediverse, speziell an die #Mykologen, sofern hier welche herumlungern😉: Was ist das für ein Tröpfchen-Phänomen auf dem Birkenpilz? Am Fundort gab es mehrere Expl., die bäuchlings gekrümmt waren wie auf dem Foto, teilweise auch mit einem weißen Belag versehen. (Schimmel)Pilzbefall?

A question for the
#biologists in the #fediverse, especially for the #mycologists, if there are any hanging around here😉: What is this droplet phenomenon on the birch mushroom? At the site where I found it, there were several expl. that were belly-curved like in the photo, some of which also had a white coating. (Mould) fungal infestation?
