They look beautiful and usually taste lovely, but have you noticed people wince (just briefly) now, when it comes to eating mushrooms. The Leongatha poisonings changed the mushroom world just a smidgeon.
Beautiful photos of the fungi. I would never eat mushrooms from nature, I buy them in the store so I can be sure they are not poisonous. Greetings Irma
That's a good idea Irma. We recently had a women murder a few people using mushrooms from the wild, she did it deliberately. Thank you. A link to that women and is now trying to sell her home. https://www.news.com.au/national/victoria/courts-law/accused-mushroom-killer-erin-patterson-to-sell-melbourne-home/news-story/8518ee2040b9c307bdb65cb12f74b80b
There are many kinds of fungi. Their shapes and growing processes are very interesting. Looking at your photos, I felt as if I had recovered curiosity in childhood.
We recently bought a book of all the mushrooms in South Dakota trying to learn which ones are edible. We are yet to try any, but at least now we are prepared!
Interesting Margaret, great photos! I took ones of the fungi at the park the other day. I will be sharing those soon. Nature has lovely gifts to share. Thanks for sharing yours.

ReplyDeleteHave heard a few people in the supermarket saying they were not going to buy mushrooms. I just continued to buy them as I do love their flavour.
DeleteThey look beautiful, but I am sure that they are not edible, maybe even poisonous.
ReplyDeleteThey would be poisonous one Angie.
DeleteHello Margaret,
ReplyDeleteVery nice pictures. This is great. Wonderful these autumn days.
Greetings, Marco
Thanks Marco and we are just in the beginning of summer down here - enjoy your autumn.
DeleteNice looking fungi making for pretty nice pictures!
ReplyDeleteFungi does usually make nice photos, don't often do I come across different coloured ones though.
DeleteI find funghi fascinating - and often very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThat's so very true, it's living and it can be beautiful.
Delete... and often very poisonous... : )
ReplyDeleteOh that is so true Catarina. I used to go to collect mushrooms in the paddocks way back and was always careful which ones I chose.
DeleteThe fungi are very pretty to look at.
ReplyDeleteYes to look at but not eat Bill :)
DeleteThe seeds of the fungi (spores) are dispersed everywhere and where they find the ideal place they grow.
ReplyDeleteThat's true Norma.
DeleteThese lichens are lovely to see.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteПрирода творит чудеса!
ReplyDeleteIt does.
DeleteInteresting and maybe even pretty to some but for they are kind of creepy looking
ReplyDeleteInteresting formation as these ones Jo-Anne.
DeleteI find fungi fascinating to see. It just comes in so many varieties and colours, amazing.
ReplyDeleteThat's true Andrew, if only they all grew well most of them in the one place, what a collection of colour, texture and size that would be.
DeleteFungi is often so pretty. I rarely see any around here, being so close to the city.
ReplyDeleteThat's true being close to a city, we went in the bush to see these River.
DeleteBuenas imagenes de esos hongos.
ReplyDeleteUn saludo, amiga
Thanks Ildefonso, was rather pleased I came across them.
DeleteBeautiful photos of the fungi.

We have some shelf fungus like what I see in the first picture, but the thin, leathery stuff below that is totally unfamiliar to me. Great shots.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bill. Probably a related fungi.
DeleteIt's time for mushrooms and mushrooms, the truth is I don't know them very well, only the edible chanterelles, but I like to admire them.
ReplyDeleteBest regards
I love the flavour of mushrooms but wouldn't go into the bush and pick them, only buy bought ones these days.
DeleteBeautiful photos. The autumn colous are the best.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteThat is interesting looking. I think they are very important in breaking down dead wood and for soil health.
ReplyDeleteYes, everything has it's purpose in nature.
DeleteLindos hongos. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteThank you.

ReplyDeleteYes there are many kinds, some very pretty others rather dull, yet they are all lovely.
DeleteEssential agents in the recycling of nutrients to enrich the soil.
ReplyDeleteThat's so very true David, all living things live on something on this earth.
DeleteI love observing mushrooms and fungi.

DeleteBrilliant the about Fungi, well done.
