Fungi

The following is a collection of some of the fungi that I've photographed over the past few years. If you're interested in seeing my most recent photos, writing or other work, please visit my nature blog, Burning Silo.
PLEASE NOTE: I am a photographer and naturalist, NOT a mycologist. DO NOT use these images
to determine edibility of any type of fungi.

Brilliant collection!

Very nice pictures, thanks for sharing them. The "mushroom being eaten by a slug" looks like false chanterelle (Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca).

I am wondering if I can use your image of G. tsugae(34021033) for a poster presentation at the functional foods conference, Huntsville, AL, 4-20-06. If so, who am I to credit? It is for the non-profit, BioRevival. The title of the main poster is, "A Medicinal Mushroom Preparation as Functional Food for Multiple Sclerosis." Thanks, Skylar Saveland

Thanks for your identification notes, Bill. I've just updated my captions and hopefully got everything correct!

Hi came across this site googling---I have some ID recommendations for you and will only comment if extremely sure I am right. Pg1 Merulius?= Old Laetiporus sp./C.cyathiformis?=Hypomyces chlorinigenus on buttons of probably Boletus pallidus/ Pg 2 Mill Pond fungus=Trametes elegans/ Hemlock fungus= old Laetiporus (probably L. huronensis if on hemlock, recently described from Great Lakes region it is very rare in New Enbland)/Fungi growing on bracket= probably same entity refruiting from fallen tree in a position reorienting its hymenium parallel to the earth (Geotaxis) which basically keeps a roof over its "head". Where are you located? Please respond to hotmail address below.
