Mushrooms And Fungi Of Any Kind
- Thread starter Maximilian
- Start date
The shots are nothing remarkable - as everyone can see. The mushroom is remarkable in means of rarity in Hawaii, the size and very complicated taxonomy. The Internet is full of misinterpretations, messed up data and so on...

As I understand from your previous posts you are located in Australia - Sydney? How it looks with the weather there right now (isn't it still summer?!). Your mushroom is some species of Parasola (previously in genus Coprinus) but you have so many species of that genus there that I'm not familiar at all... In few words I'm not able to ID it to species level
! Open your eyes for a mushrooms looking similar to my post above (could be much darker and smaller!). It's the area for Pleurotus australis and we can see it (with greater probability) only from Australia and New Zealand.

I'm in Sydney, Australia, and it is definitely summer (hot, humid and wet this year) here. It's early for fungi, so I'm only capturing the occasional one around the house (this was in a large pot!) at the moment. We get a lot of varieties of Pleurotus here - although not for a month of two, and I don't think the same one as in your image. I'll PM you a link to my latest photo book of fungi in my local area, in case you're interested!As I understand from your previous posts you are located in Australia - Sydney?

Look the Internet for Pleurotus australis - you will find some photos/info. They change the color with the age. It is NOT a common fungus as far as I know!

I's also very interesting! You don't need to be expert taxonomist to take nice (and informative!) photos. I'm not expert too - in the last 20 years I'm working very different field but still keep my curiosity

Some old (2015 I think) photos. One of my best days (concerning the diversity and rarity) when I was still after fungi...
First 3 are something that I have no clue at all...
After that Marasmius sp., Leucoagaricus sp (x2) and Lepiota sp.

And here is coming the real rarity (same date as above): Amanita manicata (could be also A. nauseosa - I don't think the problem is solved ...). Here is a link to the problem (if someone is actually interested ) - http://www.amanitaceae.org/?Amanita+manicata. I have seen this one on several occasions 1-2 times in relatively good numbers (5-10!).
And species of Gymnopillus (I think it's hallucinogenic - because of the color change in the bruised stem base) - my second and last encounter with this one, on the same place (same decomposed branch)! My first (and actually more informative photos) were from my film era.

not sure if I have posted this shot before. Are these fungi found in other parts of the world? Down here we call em 'Ghost Mushrooms '
