It's Mushroom Season!!

Autumn is finally here, and you know what that means? Mushrooms!! These past weeks I've begun to see them sprouting everywhere and I've just been dying to go out with my camera and go mushroom hunting. I took these photos last weekend and I'm really happy with how all of them turned out. It makes me want to go out and look for more. 

Amanita Muscaria

  

I'm afraid I was only able to identify the Amanita, so I'm trying to get in contact with someone who knows a bit more. If I know anything I will be sure to update.

Take care,

"Hongos" - Fungi Exhibition

I don't know why but recently I feel as though my town's recent exhibitions were just made for me. The exhibition "Hongos: Un Reino por Descubrir" (spanish for "Mushrooms a Kingdom to Discover") was no exception. It was mainly developed by the Fundacion Fungi, and the information and photography was provided by them. So now I shall show you the pictures!! 

(I will name the fungi from left to right)

Coprinus disseminatus, Geastrum floriforme, Bolbitius vitellinus

Cyathus olla, Cortinarius magellanicus

Sarcoscypha coccinea, Coriolus versicolor

Mycena cyanocephala

The details really made all the difference. It was beautifully set out, very dinamic and the information was easy to understand and very complete. 

They even had this adorable platform so one could take photos and feel like a small pixie. My partner was the one who invited me to the exhibition and was more than happy to take pictures of me.

He even laid on the floor in order to take this angled shot!! And as you can see in both photos I was trying not to burst with excitement and skip around with glee.

Take care,

It's the tiny things...

So I was walking through the shed, going to get some firewood, when I stumbled across a log. I looked down, and good thing I did, I saw a cluster (or cespitose) of little mushrooms!!! I was so exited I had to grab my camera right away, 

Even though these photos are from some weeks back, I didn't want to upload them until I was able to  identify the fungi. I believe these are Coprinus disseminatus, commonly know as "fairy inkcap". It's crazy to think that if I took one step further I would have crushed them. It was a nice reminder of the importance of taking the time to look at the details to not only full enjoy the present but also because you never know what might await you. 

Blessed be,

Monty & Americo

These are some photos that I took a ouple weeks back when my family and I went to visit some dear friends, Monty and Americo. Their country house is so cosy and nice, and they have an orchid and a garden, oh! and they have bees and sell honey!! They invited us over to go mushroom hunting so I was able to also take a few pictures of that.

These are some of the corn we were able to grow this year. I can't quite remember what they are called but they have this yellow/red tint. 

My camera is about to die, it has lost many functions and doesn't always work. So excuse the quality of the mushroom photos and that I had to use flash for a few of them. There were alot more mushrooms but I wasn't able to get decent photos of any more than what is shown here. I was, however, able to identify a few of them:

Marasmiellus alliodorus

Trametes versicolor

Ramaria flava

The rest I wasn't able to identify, (the ones shown above included) so if anyone has any ideas please comment down below!
