Somewhere near the coast in Northern California
AWide and low mushroom with thin edging, likely some form of blewit, nestled among grass and leaves
Irregularly shaped mushroom with thin edging and a star shape in the middle, likely some form of blewit, nestled among grass. Fall leaves on the ground in the background
Some happiness amidst the shit show that is 2025 America: I made some new #FungalFriends yesterday!

Two tiny mushrooms nestled in grass
Larger mushroom in grass. It’s started to dry out but it’s smooth and in real life had almost a patina to it.
Two larger mushrooms that started to shrivel up in fun ways
A few recent #FungalFriends!!
1) baby mushrooms in my yard!
2) the patina on this one was absolutely gorgeous.
3) shrivel beauties
Ring of mushrooms disrupted by asphalt. At the bottom of the photo is part of a pair of glasses, a nose, and something that I cant believe is a woman’s chest even though I took the photo and it is my chest. In the right light its looks more like a slouchy knitted igloo than a human chest.
this fairy semi-circle brought me joy all well. Bonus of possibly the most awkward photo ever of my tits. I considered cropping myself out but I am so intrigued by it that I’m leaving them in.

This lil guy caught my eye when I was running the other day. I was so glad one of my walk breaks was past him so I could snag a photo #FungalFriends
Trail of 15-20 mushrooms with a small plastic horse on the closest one
Trail of 15-20 mushrooms with a small plastic horse on the 4th one
Trail of 15-20 mushrooms with a small plastic horse about halfway down
Trail of 15-20 mushrooms with a small plastic horse on one of the farther ones
Bronconius Monk rides again!

Mushroom!
More mushroom!
Sweet baby boy asleep on my tum. Unfortunately for him I’m not a back sleeper so I had to make him move after a little bit
Aforementioned sweet baby boy has turned in to a slobber monster at daybreak and must be jailed for his sins (JK - the hounds will be released when the robo vac is done doing its thing)
#FungalFriends from this morning and in the absence of Bronconious Monk I grace you with an adorable and disgusting dog.
Three plastic figurines on string, attached to straight pins. From left to right: Clown, Skull, Horse.
Poll time! Which little figurine should incorporate into my #FungalFriends photos? I am Leaning in a certain direction but would love to hear people’s thoughts
Two large mushrooms, photo taken from ground level(ish). Absolutely gorgeous motherfuckers standing proudly in the lawn. Residence, tree, and clear blue sky in the background
Two large bulbous mushrooms in the grass. White adult human hand for scale. A smaller sturdy looking mushroom in the background. Why its head so small?
So big!!!
I finally told my spouse about my semi-plans to carry a trinket on our walks for scaling purposes. His response was about as expected.
#FungalFriends
Three pancake lookin’ shrooms having a chill morning
Three flat topped mushrooms from the side
The same three mushrooms with human hand for scale
A very round topped mushroom that the internet tells me is the same as she flat one’s? This seems like it can’t be true?
Big ole #FungalFriends on today’s walk. I saw them from across the street and was so excited. Adult human hand for scale.
A young white child with blonde hair in braids wearing a brightly colored romper squatting down to examine a cluster of mushrooms (possibly gymnopilus)
My niece is also enamored with #FungalFriends this week 🍄🟫🍄🟫🥰
Three mushrooms with rather round, textured tops, chillin in the grass. In the upper left can be seen a road, several houses, and some trees
#FungalFriends kibitzing
Spiky mushrooms cuddling
Cool ass puffball mushroom (actual name) aka an elder spiky mushroom. Apparently it’s moved on past its punk phase
Double quash aka naughty squash. My sister swears it didn’t look naughty from her angle. I’ve seen worse (better) garden balls.
Squash bug eggs on a leaf. They are really pretty and the photo doesn’t quite do them justice
#FungalFriends from outside my block! With bonus naughty squash and beautiful but destructive squash bug eggs.
Letting my niece show off her garden is always a joy. Even (especially?) when she’s too busy chasing dragonflies and my sister has to do most of the narrating.
Storms last night meant all sorts of #FungalFriends on my morning walk today. And no spouse to roll their eyes as I stopped several times to capture photos of them.
Oh, #mycology! Attend NEMF, a mycological extravaganza in #Ithaca, #NY this year! September 18-21, come explore the incredible fungal diversity in the Finger Lakes regions while honoring the #WomenInMycology theme.

Four mushrooms clustered together and forming almost a pyramid as they grow out of the grass.
I am very much imagining my #FungalFriends gathering at Arby’s for coffee and cigarettes like grandma used to do.
Happy healthy fungal friends trailing off in to the distance
Withering mushrooms, more grey and transparent than when fresh, edges of caps turning ip
It’s been damp and cloudy enough, but with no real rain, that my #FungalFriends are not shriveling in to nothingness by noon.
My spouse continues to be unamused by my exclamations of finding friends and insistence on stopping to snap candids.
Photo of two mushrooms cuddled up to each other nestled in grass inset in to the upper left hand corner of a photo of a row of four mushrooms, also in grass. Bottom right corner of picture is grey

No. My spouse doesn’t understand my obsession with these delicate beauties.
