If I hadn't seen lists of these for years I would guess half of them were AI.

None of these are dangerously toxic - a couple might make you somewhat ill.

Although you'd hard-pressed to eat the ones that are obviously glass sculptures.

1 year ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

Yeah, those may hurt going out just as much as it did going in; provided you don't die from internal hemorrhaging long enough to pass it all, that is.

Please don't eat glass, citizens. :'D

Fungi are why no new coal has formed for millions of years...

1 year ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 0

Not entirely true, coal is still being formed veeery slowly to this day - it's what happens when peat bogs get buried.
Just the unique conditions of the carboniferous produced so much in so little time that all other coal formation since has been basically insignificant.

'Akshully...'

That is something I never thought about, thanks for that. No coal can form in meaningful deposits because the fungi are eating it all before it can gather in such quantity and time. Neato.

The Carboniferous Era lasted 50M years, between 350My ago when plants invented lignin and became trees, to 300My ago when the 1st microorganisms managed to evolve a way to digest it. In the meanwhile dead trees piled up upon dead trees and they became the large coal deposits we are now releasing in the atmosphere in the space of 200 years...

#1 and #25 are probably giophorus psittacinus. #5 goes by many names, one of which is Auricularia polytrocha. #8 might be Gaestrum fornicatum (lol). #10 and #18 are Coprinus comatus. #13 looks like some species of the lactarius family. #23 is probably Cyathus striatus and #27 is Lycoperdon perlatum. Fyi, Lycoperdon means wolf fart.

#13 is likely Infundibulicybe geotropa (syn. Clitocybe geotropa), #6 should be Clathrus archeri, #14 is Neofavolus alveolaris, the middle one of #23 is Schizophyllum commune, the bottom one is in the family Nidulariaceae. And as you already corrected, #10 and #18 is indeed Coprinopsis picacea.

After seeing my post, my girlfriend corrected me on #10 and #18. They are actually Coprinopsis picacea! Damn it! She has always been better at the names than me. Oh well.

Thank you very much! I hate pictures that aren't identified, I can't look for more!

You're welcome! My girlfriend and I joined a mycological society on a whim which led to many outings walking around in woods and fields with a bunch of incredibly nerdy and lovely people. The one that looks like it has red tentacles is Clathrus archeri btw. Not native to my country so I had to look it up.

#2 and #26 are slime moulds, which are not fungi; I think #15 might be CGI; and #28 is transparently (ha! see what I did there?) a glass sculpture. Nice dump otherwise.

#13 is pretty good to eat (has a honey smell) and very large size (over a foot sometimes), nicknamed 'monk's head'...

Somebody just say slime?

#15 is definitely CGI from this artist (I like his work)

Yep, I thought that's where I recognised it from.

There is a real mushroom called the woolly milk cap, as it happens. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactarius_torminosus

Slime molds are some of the coolest life forms.

I liked the time one of them recreated a map of the Tokyo subway as the most efficient way to collect food.

I hadn’t ever heard of them before, but their pictures are awesome, so I agree!

What about #1 that one looked the most fake to me

1 year ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Nope. It's part of a genus called the waxcaps. Most like the parrot waxcap: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gliophorus_psittacinus

You are most welcome.

There's a few dumps in my profile of mushrooms I've picked myself, if you're interested.
