Funguary Day 2: Cremini

See the rest of my posts for funguary here!

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

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.

I need everyone to know how amazing these lil guys are I love the sm

Funguary Day 21: Birds Nest Fungi

The bird's nest fungi is named for its nest-like appearance, with “eggs” inside the main cup. The “eggs” are actually called peridioles and they're where the mushroom stores its spores. They're usually attached to the peridium (the main cup structure of the fungi) by a thin cord called the funicular cord. The cord is coiled inside a purse (see diagram below) until spore dispersal occurs. 

Bird's nest fungi are reliant on rain to disperse its spores. Raindrops trigger the spore release by splashing the peridoles out of place, as visible in this video. The purse ruptures and the cord uncoils as the peridoles are splashed into the air. Sometimes the funicular cord will wrap around a branch or twig and attach to the new substrate via the hapteron (see diagram below).

I could tell from the veil xD Destroying angel was one of the first ever mushrooms I learned about when entering the mycology community

I'm proud to know that the majority of us will not die from eating the wrong fungi 😃👍

Truly though, that mushroom is drilled into your head the second you become a part of the mycology community, it, and the death cap

Eat them Minecraft trees

@that-onecookiehead

Nope. Are you a mushroom who lives in water?*pulls you out again and floods the askbox completely. We lay on top of the askbox*-Flooder anon

I have concluded that this anon is the fungi species Psathyrella aquatica, as observed by their tendency toward water

Funguary Day 13: Fly Agaric

The Fly Agaric is quite possibly the most iconic mushroom there is. It was traditionally used as an insecticide. The cap was broken into pieces and sprinkled into saucers of milk. It contains ibotenic acid which both attracts and kills flies, thus, giving it its name.
