I've been cataloging all the mushrooms that have appeared along the trails my family and I walk the last few months and wanted to share some of the pictures we've captured.
Jack o' Lantern mushrooms
They grow to be around 6 inches in diameter and create a faint bio-luminescence after sunset. Unfortunately we never got to see them in full glow.
Unidentified Fungi
This one is a bit odd, and couldn't be readily identified we got several pictures of what appear to be the same species, but we're still unsure.
Here are a few more images for the fungus lovers among us.
Ash-tree Bolete
It must be rough to be named after the tree you're seen next to when your reach sexual maturity but the Bolete is a funny looking mushroom that did seem to favor a particular tree species (though I don't believe they are ash)
Parasol
Parasols are fun little do nothing mushrooms, though its easy to imagine a toad or faerie finding shade beneath them.
Dotted-stalked Suillus
This one is a proper looking mushroom whose colors were washed out in the image. Its skin was much more yellow in the dim light and I imagine the camera over corrected to maintain focus.
That's about it for this addition of "Time out in nature", all these images were taken with a Blu G9 Pro around sunset. I'm cataloging the flora and fauna of my local outdoor hiking and biking area for the rest of the outdoor community in Wise County and surrounding areas over on iNaturalist and have started a project which you can find at Endeavor Bridgeport Adventure Park:Flora,Fauna,and Fungus
