Funguary Day 17: Pink Waxcap

Pink waxcaps are also referred to as “ballerina waxcaps” because when mature the cap looks like a tutu. They are most likely to be found in acidic, sheep grazed fields in the UK. While edible they should not be harvested as they are extremely rare

Funguary Day 23: Fairy Ring Mushroom

Different countries across Europe have varying folklore and myths about fairy rings

English+Celtic: In English and Celtic folklore fairy rings were created by fairies and elves dancing in a circle. It was said that if humans joined in the dance the fairies would punish them, and make them dance in the circle until they passed out from exhaustion

German: Things in German folklore took a more sinister turn as fairy rings were actually known as witches rings. It was believed that they were a place where witches would dance on Walpurgis night, a spring celebration six months before halloween 

Austrian: It was said that fairy rings were created when dragons burned them into the forest floor with their fiery tails 

There are many more myths about fairy rings, from being portals to other worlds, to being used as dinner tables for fairies, to being good luck and a sign of a fairy village underground.

Funguary Day 27: Scarlet Cup

Most species that would come to mind when you think of fungi are basidiomycetes, fungi that produce their spores in cells called basidia. This phylum of fungi contains most of the “fleshy” fungi, including all fungi with gills or pores. Some “fleshy” fungi however, like the Scarlet Cup, are Ascomycetes. Mushrooms like morels and saddle fungi are also a part of this phylum. Ascomycetes produce their spores in sac-like structures called asci, unlike the basidia of the basidiomycetes. See the diagram below for more clarification on the difference between asci and basidia!

Funguary Day 4: Morel

Morel refers to many species of fungi, so for this day of the challenge I've chosen what is in my opinion the coolest morel, the BURN MOREL. 

The mycelium of the burn morel can lie dormant for up to 50 years, only growing fruiting bodies after the forest has been ravaged by a wildfire. Scientists have yet to discover a definitive reason for the mushrooms blooming after a fire disturbance. Some believe that it's due to a change in soil chemistry after burning, or an influx of nutrients released by the heat that the flames produce.

Funguary Day 2: Chicken of the Woods

The chicken of the woods is most commonly known for being highly sought after for its edibility, but it is also a tree killer. 

This mushroom infects trees causing a brown rot within the heartwood. The rot is primarily in the main trunk, but can extend into branches as well. It infects both living and nonliving trees, usually making its way into living trees through injuries in the bark or roots. Once mushrooms show up, there's nothing you can do to rid the tree of the fungi.

It also tastes like chicken
