The person has short brown hair and is wearing a loose white shirt tucked into brown shorts, as well as brown boots.

Thank you everyone who read even one of the fungi facts in 2025 ❤️🍄

Shingled Hedgehog (Sarcodon imbricatus), found this one in abundance this summer/autumn. A pretty good mushroom for stews, I dried a lot of what I picked and use it as seasoning. The bigger the more bitter the taste, so these should be picked when small!

Chanterelle (Cantharellus cibarius), the golden child! One of my favourite ways to eat chanterelles is on homemade pizza or just simply fried in butter with garlic, salt and pepper on some toast

Lurid Bolete (Suillellus luridus), same with this one, fried it for a long time on medium-low heat because unlike the rest of the mushrooms in this post this one will very much upset your stomach unless cooked properly

St George's mushroom (Calocybe Gambosa), first time for me! So just fried it up in just butter with some salt and pepper, tasted kind of like fried flour. This is one of the earliest edible mushrooms to show up in the spring

last week's Fungi Fact 🍄

around christmas we eat a lot of saffron baked goods here in sweden, so this is my loosely christmas themed fff this year 🎅🎄 hope everyone is having a happy holidays, no matter what you celebrate ✨️🍄

it could possibly be confused with Chicken of the Woods (Laetiporus Sulphureus), but Orange Polypore is not edible and should be left alone due to it's endangered status

picture of a young specimen that could look more like the Orange Polypore

in sweden it is classified as critically endangered and has a protected status (fridlyst)

it can be found in north america and asia but is mainly spread throughout europe. unfortunately due to the felling of its main host trees, oak and chestnut, during the past couple centuries it has been declining in population

the Orange Polypore causes white rot in deciduous trees, but requires a woodland rich in old-growth oak and chestnut forests to be sustained. in young woodland there's just not enough dead wood debris for spores to be able to establish

🍄 Fungi Fact Friday 🍄

Orange Polypore(Aurantiporus Croceus or Hapalopilus Croceus), in swedish called Saffransticka which translates to "Saffron polypore" named for the saffron yellow of the fruiting body 💛

it needs well drained and nutrient rich soil in open spruce forests with rivers and streams, a habitat under threath by extensive logging and clear-cutting of the forests in its native range. it cannot thrive or even survive in a forest that is clear-cut

increasingly threathened by habitat loss, being classified as extinct from three countries (germany, slovakia and lithuania) and on the red-list of threathened species in many countries, including sweden where it is classified as vulnerable and has a protected status (fridlyst)

it is found mostly in northern europe, especially a little more common in sweden around the lake mälaren, but can be found in some other parts of europe as well as very few parts of north america, like the great lakes region

🍄 Fungi Fact Friday 🍄

Witches Cauldron (Sarcosoma globosum), also sometimes called Charred-pancake Cup is a rare mushroom. In swedish it's called Bombmurkla, which translates to "Bomb morel" and if I could launch this like a bomb so it would explode in population I would!

it's found all over europe and western north america as well as a few places in asia. mostly found in grassland, fields, meadows and heaths or open woodland that has been untouched by agricultural practises, like ploughing and chemical treatments

Scarlet Waxcap (Hygrocybe Coccinea) also called Scarlet Hood or Righteous Red Waxycap, is a strikingly red mushroom that is becoming increasingly rare due to habitat loss
