Mushrooms And Fungi Of Any Kind

[Maximilian]

Another for gourmets: cep/porcino (boletus edulis)

Mushroom time.
A cauliflower fungus (sparassis crispa). Bon appetite!

"Bon appetite": it is no competition for the Boletus edulis and the few similar Boletus spp., as well for bunch of other wild mushrooms!
And cep/porcino = steinpilz! Find more and make a good dish!
BTW when going to Bulgaria I was dreaming for some fungi incl. Amanita caesarea - just to take a photos (beautiful mushroom!)! The only fungus (except of some wood-rotting species that persist on the substrate for long time) I saw only Boletus erythropus (or whatever a name it got after the +/-recent revisions of the Boletaceae). And it was found by my wife who drop it next to the bungalow that we were renting in Rila mts. Next morning it was eaten by a squirrel (I already posted a photo)!

Here in southern Germany in some regions you still have to be careful about radioactively contaminated mushrooms from the fallout of the Chernobyl disaster in 1986.
So in those regions it is not recommended to eat wild mushrooms collected there.
I suppose such regions also exist in Bulgaria. Maybe they're not that sensitive about that topic over there.

I don't know that mushroom, but I really like, how it grows

Nice shots, Maximilian. I like the composition on the last one.

 

[Nemorino]

A lot of funghi in the woods. Did a couple of stacks:
R5 + RF35 1.8 macro are a perfect pair for larger funghi.
39 frames @ f/1.8

and another friend of mushrooms (25 frames@ f/5.6)

I think it's Paxilus involutus.

I think it's Paxilus involutus.

Thanks, ISv

Another beauty that I don't know

Tremiscus helvelloides ?
EOS R + Macro Elmarit 2,8/60 Handheld, 1/15, f 11, ISO 1600 (knees aching...)

 

[Nemorino]

(knees aching...)

I wear a pair of trousers with padded knees if I shoot macros on the floor.

The advantage to use a macro lens with a 1.4 magnification and autofocus:
175 frames shot with the in body focus bracketing starting at mfd.
R5 + RF 100L on an tripod and macro rail

Well done, Nemorino.

It's a little funny that it grew so quickly that the dirt is still on top.

Nice picture. Eric.

Could be Boletus (Suillellus) luridus but it is difficult group of Boleti for identification even if you have it in hand... For example Suillellus mendax from Italy is very similar...

Seems to be that one but now you should call it Guepinia helvelloides. Never-mind let these changes of the name to the mushroom experts: when they have no other things to do they use to change the fungal names (joking off coarse but in some cases it's pretty much the truth ).

Same with orchids. Every 3-4 years, you'd need a new set of identification books . DNA analysis is the culprit...

@EricN:
The first one is really dark. Maybe a little bit too dark?
The second one is excellent
