Bracket fungi growing on a mossy tree in a green forest. One bracket fungi is more than half the width of the tree.

Red Cup Fungus (Sarcoscypha austriaca) ignites spring forests with vivid, cup-shaped displays that might even attract tiny pollinators. Could these brilliant hues be part of a secret ecosystem strategy? #FungiExplained #Mycology

Great to see strong contributions from our team at #ESCMID2026:

Red-cage Fungus (Clathrus ruber) shocks with its intricate, almost architectural red cage emerging in spring’s fresh bloom. Who knew decay could be so dramatic? #FungiExplained #Mycology #SpringFungi

Hoof Fungus (Fomes fomentarius) transforms decaying pine logs this spring, subtly orchestrating nature's architecture. Could it be the forest’s unsung innovator? #FungiExplained #Mycology #ForestScience

A Rare Mushroom Makes People See Armies of Tiny Elves—And Science Can't Explain Why Nobody is eating this fungus to get high. A bizarre hallucination is simply the price of a raw meal.

Does anybody else want to eat this?

From what I understand, this is the only effect. You can eat it once and see tiny people walking around your house for days. 😳

I don’t really know what species this is! It’s unusual to find a pink fleshy mushroom in February. Any suggestions gratefully received.

🧵 The fungi's response to an unlivable planet?
Launch your offspring into the stratosphere.
235 fungal genera found at 35,000m — above the ozone layer, at −63°C.
15 species cultured back to LIFE in the lab.

🧵 That "silence" in the forest? Pure biological illusion.
Beneath your feet, mycelial networks pulse with structured electrical spikes — signals whose word-length patterns match English and Swedish.

Andrew Adamansky proved it mathematically.

'Entoloma atromadidum from the Cotswolds is the third member of the “Big Blue Pinkgills” I’ve found on this common last autumn. There are thought to be up to seven species in the group we treat as “one” for conservation.'

Uncovering a stocky infested amanita that had recently burst forth through the duff. Found hanging out under the protective cover of a large Evergreen Huckleberry. The 2x images that went into this animation can be seen below. #FungiFriends #FungiFriday #Mushroom #Mycology #Fungi #GIF #Animation

I believe these are scarlet wax cup mushrooms growing wild in a forest... appreciate any help here from all you experts...

Cream-colored mushrooms stick out in layers from a mossy branch in the forest. Their gills are showing and light shows through in places.

A beautiful light blue mushroom with orange gills. Its stem is off- white with an orange band toward the top. Droplets can be seen under the gills, dripping.

Two bird nests fungi found in their natural environment, surrounded by moss and a wonderful ecosystem. "Bird's nest fungi are small, cup-shaped fungi that look like miniature bird's nests filled with tiny, egg-like structures (peridioles). Found on decaying wood." 🪺🍄‍🟫
