Funguary Day 9: Parrot Waxcap

This absolutely gorgeous mushroom is the Parrot Waxcap, also known as Gliophorus psittacinus. It most commonly starts off its life as the bright and vivid green mushroom it is commonly known for being, and as it gets older its color shifts more toward an orangish yellow.

However, they can also be bright yellow and red, and there is apparently also a rare blue variety from Humboldt county.

Funguary Day 1: Veiled Lady

This mushroom has an intense stink that attracts insects and gives the mushroom its several other names, including “basket stinkhorn”, “longnet stinkhorn”, and “crinoline stinkhorn”. The insects attracted to the smell help spread the spores of the mushroom after coming into contact with it.

I've also made an art piece for this day you can see here!

Funguary Day 10: Guepinia

Most of the mushrooms I’ve talked about so far this funguary have a defined gill or pore structure that produces the fungi’s spores, but Guepinia lacks that. The upper side of the mushroom is quite sterile, usually with a few isolated basidia (spore producing structure), while the underside of the mushroom is where the hymenium (spore producing tissue) is located. Overall the mushroom has a very gelatinous texture, more so at the edges while the base has a cartilage-like consistency.

attempted @millastaria’s art style! :3

Funguary Day 11: Devils cigar

While emerging from the ground this mushroom looks like a cigar, giving it its name. When there is a sudden change in humidity (for example a rainstorm) this mushroom suddenly opens up, releasing its spores in a puff of “smoke”. Due to the pressure the spores release almost explosively, creating an audible hiss.  

It is also extremely rare, only being found in Texas and Japan

I feel very mushroom biased some of these funguary posts I have spent hours compiling research and formatting it nicely, I've even used paper sources and cited studies on a some of them, then for some like the Crepidotus I can't find anything interesting, spend five minutes on it, and give up.

I'm sorry T-T

I promise I'm trying my best, some of these fungi are just basic

Not oyster mushroom though, love that one <3
