First Sac Fungi Found | Autumn in Nova Scotia | Largest Dung Pile Ever!
    #9125354 - 10/24/08 06:56 AM (15 years, 3 months ago)

Morning Guys, I am finaly getting around to classifying some---it takes a lot of time---of the mushrooms I imaged the other day while out in the woods.  The weather called for solid overcast for the day, but as you can clearly tell, they were wrong.  That was a good pun, well, perhaps not.  As many folks along the North East coast of North America know: the best time of year here is the fall.  Fall exhibits a vast cornucopia of leaves spotting varying colors, crisp air with low humidity, and no flies = perfect.  So I'll open with a few scenic pictures from the foray, and present a few mushrooms with an attempt at classification (perhaps Genus only in some instances). Unfortunately, despite surveying another two pastures containing horses / cows, psi. sem. continues to elude me.  Echoing Louis Armstrong, "I see skies are blue (but no bluing on my shrooms), dung everywhere, but no psi. sem., and I think to myself ... what a terrible world."  Ok, that was bad, perhaps I need to get some breakfest ... anyways ...:

1 -

In this image of the moon, naturally the tree comes out of focus, one can actually observe the Mare Humorum and the Oceanus Procellarum.  God have mercy on my soul if I got the astronomy wrong ;-)

4 - Neolecta Irregularis


5 - Lycoperdon (Nigrescens:)


6 - look-alike Chanterelle


8 - Hygrophorus


These mushrooms were EVERYWHERE.  Here is a closeup.

9 - Hygrophorus


10 - Hygrophorus


How did this get up in the tree?  A mystery granted it is a good 8 feet.  The leading theory is that perhaps God came down for a picking and dropped a few on his way up.

10 - Hygrophorus


Right beside the others, different species.

11 - Horses


12 - Cow Dung

No psi. sem. :-(

13 - Horse Dung

No psi. sem. :-(  But there were some of these ...

13 - Shrooms Near Horse Dung



14 - The Largest Horse Dung Pile Ever!

wow, beautiful pictures!  Squirrels tend to bring mushroom up into trees like that.  God does sometimes though too.

Great pictures.  The Hygrophorus is a Russula.

Hey Guys, cheers. My photography needs a lot of work, a new Canon rebel would be welcome too.

Landsnorkler, I never considered the squirrels.  Do they eat the mushrooms? 

Alan, darn, I could not decide whether it was indeed a Hygrophorus or a Russula, but I decided to go with the former granted the waxy cap and the nipple like centroid on the cap.  Could you elaborate on the characteristics that led you to designate it a Russula? What species would you suggest 9 & 10 are?

Are there any red Hygrophorus species that look like that?  I am not aware of any.

Its hard to say for sure what it is from here, I can't see the stem or underside of the cap.

If you pick one up it will be obvious, Hygrophorus is very slimy and Russula has a stem that snaps like chalk. 

I would call those Russula cf. emetica.

Hi Alain, ok, very interesting.  Perhaps this may help clarify things, I actually have two more images of the putative mushroom, one giving a good glimpse of its underside thanks to the squirrel (!)

Ok thanks for those pics, that is a Hygrophorus. 

Probably this one
