Many years ago I ate mushrooms with the Mazateca people in Huautla de Jimenez in Mexico. Among several varieties was one that looked exactly like these, which they called pajaritos, or Little birds.
That would certainly describe me! Especially 50 years ago! Believe it, or not, I was handed a Whitman's Sampler tin box full of several varieties of hongos, told to eat them dirt still attached. The barn I was in turned into a cathedral and I found I could communicate with the trees & rocks outside!
It was probably in the 1960s? They were trying to id as many plants and fungi in the tundra and arctic circle as possible, and of course the summer is MAYBE a month long 😂😂 (albeit 22 hours a day 🤣🤣).
When asked what we did in the summer, my brother said, "if it falls on a Sunday, we play baseball."
I wish I could have plucked these up and saved them forever because they were so beautiful. I think they're violet grey boletes, but these are the first I've seen at my place so not 100% certain. They were fabulous though.
Northwest Georgia Piedmont. It was in the middle of a horse pasture Nov 2nd. It was in an area we were spreading manure in, so it's very fungi-friendly out there.
I didn't pick it to get a spore print or anything...hopeling it comes back next year 🤞

Spend more money on missed trains 😭😭 what a waste.. and it happened in the stupidest way possible too. I mixed up which side if the platform was for my train but when it turned up the screens indicating where its going WAS OFF so I had to get my phone to check if it was the right one and then the
I could never distinguish the "good" gold tops from the nasty ones, so I stuck with blue meanies... decades ago in my youth. Like no other experience anyone can ever have. Truly enlightening!
Thank you, Lukelukeluke! I know you have countless followers and get so many comments that it seems a bit silly to add my voice to the mycelium, so I hope you'll forgive me for addressing these nice mushrooms.
Hello! Look how you've grown! I'm so proud of the work you're doing, dear ones! Grow! 🖖🏾
Since joining BlueSky, I’ve become such a fungi fan. Googled and found guided foraging tours in many places but not photography tours. Anyone know of any? Just to see them in the wild and take pics (not to pick and eat).
My property is bursting with mushrooms of every description. Wish I could tell which are edible! (I do eat my Shaggy Manes and the once-appearing Morels.)
Got a big patch of fly agaric but a little scared to deal with them. 🤷

I get this bunch in my garden every year. Nothing seems to eat them so I don't either.

But that’s after 40 years of studying them.
I want to have that ability with mushrooms.
🤔 Guess I know what I’ll be studying for the next 40 years.
