Chanterelles (Cantharellus cibarius)

I've been hiking and wild camping in Scotland's gorgeous ancient woodland and have found SO many amazing mushrooms - I can't wait to sort through pics and post for you all to see!

Most excitingly though, I found LOADS of chanterelles, which I've only ever found one or two of before. I gathered a potful (more than pictured here, and still leaving most of what I saw) and they made an amazing addition to my campside ramen. Tonight some more will go in a pasta sauce, then I'm planning a risotto for the rest :)

These mushrooms are delicious and highly sort after. They can be recognised by their irregular caps, apricot smell, veins on the underside rather than true gills, and white flesh which can be seen when they're cut in two.

There are two main potential confusions to be aware of:

Jack o Lanterns (Omphalotus olearius) - these are similarly sized orange mushrooms which might be mistaken for chanterelles at first. However, they clearly have gills on the underside rather than veins. These fungi are poisonous.

False chanterelle (Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca) - these are a more plausible confusion, as the name suggests. They have true gills, but they look a lot like the veins of the chanterelle.

They can be distinguished from 'true' chanterelles by their yellow-orange flesh when they are cut open, their lack of apricot smell, their darker cap centres and more regular caps. The best way to distinguish them is to cut them in half - you will see the colour of the flesh, and also whether there is a margin between the cap flesh and the gills. True chanterelles do not have this, whereas false chanterelles will show that the gill is separate to the cap. Young chanterelles and false chanterelles really do look quite similar, so be careful! Luckily, false chanterelles aren't seriously poisonous - they produce the symptoms of mild food poisoning, and there are some dubious reports of psychedelic effects.

Fantastic fungi: Mushrooms spout in nature’s damp corners, a Nat Geo report (and casual foragers) find. The image of these orange fungi sprouting in a cloud forest in Ecuador got more than 300,000 likes on our Instagram page. Many researchers believe mushrooms are the key to life, but we may not be doing enough to protect them.

Cool detail I noticed about Tristamp's Vash's shoes/boots (+ the opening/intro animation)

we can clearly see here that the footprints we see before we see the anime's logo is the same sole pattern matching Vash's shoes, right? (I had picked up on this a while back but decided against posting it cause I figured people already picked up on this) It has a pretty unique/distinct look, right? So I was listening to the Trigun OST and was looking at this iconic album cover and realized something...

I was like "oh those boots have the same little two divets at the top like Tristamp Vash... wait-" THAT'S THE SAME FUCKING OUTSOLE He even has the weird gray thing on the bottom as well! You can even make out the circle divets in the center of the sole but its kind of hard to see on this album cover. I'M FLABBERGASTED??? Like DAMN I knew Orange did their homework but this is fucking crazy to me 😭

Xanthoria calcicola

This foliose lichen grows on calcareous rock and stone work (and occasionally dusty trees) in eutrophic, well-lit, mild-temperate and costal regions of Europe and the Mediterranean. It has a yellow-orange to dark orange foliose thallus forming pleated lobes growing in large rosettes up to 20 cm in diameter. The center of the rosettes are covered in knobbly warts and granular isidia, and it only rarely produces apothecia. The presence of these isidia and the lack of apothecia is the best way to distinguish this lichen from the very similar looking X. parietina which is a lot more common and often grows on bark.

FOTD #113 : orange pinwheel! (marasmius siccus)

the orange pinwheel is a mushroom found in the rocky & appalachian mountains, northern europe, & asia. it often grows in hardwood forests !! it belongs to the family marasmiaceae.

the big question : can i bite it?? i suppose..? it is non-poisonous !!

m. siccus description :

"it is a small, orange mushroom with a "beach umbrella"-shaped cap. the tough shiny bare stem is pale at the top but reddish brown below, & the gills are whitish. the stem is 3–7 centimetres (1.2–2.8 in) tall & the cap is 0.5–2.5 centimetres (0.20–0.98 in) wide."

Velvet shanks (Flammulina velutipes)

These velvet shanks were unseasonably early. They like cold weather, and will start to fruit after the first proper frosts, usually in December and January in the UK.

They are a highly sought mushroom, valued for their slightly sweet flavour - they are the wild form of the cultivated enoki mushroom. I cooked them up with some portobellos, red wine, rosemary and thyme and had the resulting gravy over broccoli and a mountain of sweet potato mash.

Imagine you're a little bug sitting under a Mycena leaiana mushroom, sun filtering through the orange cap onto you
