Hunting For Wild Mushrooms

My favorite thing to do on a hot and humid day after a good long run on rain is to _**mushroom hunt**_. Its been a long mushroom-less summer without much rain and I have been itching to get out there and find something substantial. Well folks...today was the day. I was finding _**shrooms**_ everywhere. I found some in a few yards, such as these! Ganoderma lucid (Reishi/Lingzhi) and either Turkey Tail(Trametus versicolor), False Turkey Tail(Stereum hirsutatum), or both! ![IMG_0842-XL.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmegrTnLE46rDfWMBysaBnhqYwhfJLL3t7Fnfc3GacPHGj/IMG_0842-XL.jpg) _**I found more while I was hiking in my local park as well!**_ ![Trametes versicolor(turkeytail) or Stereum hirsutatum(false turkeytail).jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZ5dngX1sFgnV31WBbSRkBkMoebsjakZUCKArGzbpB7Md/Trametes%20versicolor(turkeytail)%20or%20Stereum%20hirsutatum(false%20turkeytail).jpg) Another one I found in a yard today was Boletus psuedosensibilis. ![Boletus pseudosensibilis.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTUhaeu825dRaZvDuBrF15kpVm48HavtdkkWdd3tNkQ42/Boletus%20pseudosensibilis.jpg) I found these two at my local park but I am not familiar with the names. Let me know if you know them! I would love to learn! ![IMG_0847-XL.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYzhoUARFBZqzTyRazuhuEzVS25ovb7Hg6bVt2rem7HS1/IMG_0847-XL.jpg)![IMG_0834-XL.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVKDkkZn496r38kv6QMS54jaZvNywnfPfoGSmvrZUfxEH/IMG_0834-XL.jpg) _This one I am thinking is a Fly Garlic?_ ![Maybe Fly Glaric?.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmauLdHYgVQvd89beL7eT3PCC2fUw5nmkoasMqvpaPqSwF/Maybe%20Fly%20Glaric?.jpg) I also came across something strange that I have never seen before and wasn't sure if it was a mushroom or not? _**Have you seen this before?**_ If you know what this is I am very curious myself. ![IMG_0440-XL.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmX3pwVZD4Rt8sciRmuqo8VA2PqPL4yHFfjzTDmjdFRUt7/IMG_0440-XL.jpg) Lastly...here are the **WILD EDIBLE MUSHROOMS** I found today!!! First we have the *cantharellus cinnabarinus* and *cantharellus cibarius* also known as **The Chanterelles!** Which for some reason the pic will not upload so you'll just have to trust me! Then a friend of mine came across this beauty _Sparassis Crispa (Cauliflower mushroom) and she also took this picture. ![Sparassis Crispa (cauliflower mushroom).jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmcWWCWwxTYJm112Queip1k24miqkb2qWxLMCpg4p4rRXa/Sparassis%20Crispa%20(cauliflower%20mushroom).jpg) The tastiest find of all.. _and the last one I have to share with you today_ was *Laetiporus sulphureous* also known as **Chicken of the woods!!!** ![Laetiporus sulphureus (chicken of the woods).jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTdzDphLWtsuGFgZ32F4XGF4XruDjkAFAHg75Wd7syP2y/Laetiporus%20sulphureus%20(chicken%20of%20the%20woods).jpg) Well folks, I am so glad I was able to share with you the beautiful world of fungi get to get lost in every once in a while and if I have gotten the scientific names wrong on any of these please feel free to correct me. I am learning more and more on mushrooms each day and will continue to post pictures as I do. *Thank you so much for checking out my pics and I will post again soon!* ________________________________
