How about some fungus photos?

Went to my messy friends refrigerator one day.
"Are these mushrooms fresh?" I asked him.
"They're not mushrooms, that's cheese" he replied.

Bet it was great cheese!

Veer time - the urge just hit me - can't help it

Cockroaches remind me of a funny thing that happened at West Lake Sylvia MN in 1975 or -77. We were at neighbours - Audrey and Art - elderly couple - retired, but in good spirits and reasonable health. Art was a bit weak walking - he was sitting at kitchen table having beer - face down he sees a cockroach and speaks loudly - "Audrey - cockroach north of waste basket ." She then stomped it.

I understand easily how one talks about compass directions outside - but inside ? ? ?

Do you guys do that - or do you know anybody doing that? Only in USA ? ? ?

Don't know about using compass headings indoors, but we did invent special boots that can get 'em even when they're in a corner:

We call 'em "roach stompers".

Those are almost as long and sharp as the Leningrad Cowboy boots.

More 'shrooms and toadstools from that same hike up North, I'm guessing I photographed at least 50 different types of fungi that day.

Some look like flowers, some like sea anemones, some like coral some even look like boobies, lol. Different types of fallen trees supported different types of fungi.

This is the best thread y'all

I feel like I've joined a fungus cult. Here's my contribution.

Here's a shelf mushroom growing on our Box Elder tree, growing a Box Elder seedling from the mushroom:

Next time I find a nice big "Chicken Of The Woods" like this I will pick it and eat it. I didn't know they were edible when I photographed this one.

I’m sure it’s all chicken of the woods if you’re brave enough.

I'd have to be pretty hungry to have a go at these ones

and some more from my backyard.

And one I grew form a kit that you can buy at various places - a lions mane.
These things are delicious.

I have an outstanding cream of mushroom soup recipe; sometimes I get a big batch of Enokis to make it with.
