Collection Of Some Shrooms I saw During the Autumn

avatar

I have seen that many here have posted pictures of mushrooms so I decided to do the same this time. There is even a community for this where I'm posting to right and it's my first time posting here or about any fungi. At least I think so, I can't be entirely sure.

Shroom season here in Estonia is now over and now is a great time to show what I got. So here I have some examples of some shrooms I found during the autumn months. I never went searching for these but when I noticed some, I took a photo. Some are taken with a camera and some are taken with my phone.

Let me say that I don't have absolutely any idea about mushrooms and I am stupid as fuq on that front. I don't know what these are called in Estonian and even more so in English. If I were to pick mushrooms for food then I would surely end up in an ER after getting poisoned by mushrooms I decided to eat.

The first 3 photos are taken with a camera.

Tree stump shroom?

The following photos are taken with a phone.

Found these cool shrooms in a bunch all together while playing disc golf.

I'm quite certain that red means do not eat, poisonous!

Another red one that is flipped for some reason. I didn't break it I promise, it was like that when I saw it 😅.

I can agree that photographing mushrooms is pretty fun and these look cool. I do like the mushroom sauce but haven't eaten it for years now. I need to visit my grandmother and ask her to make some.

Maybe next year when the time comes I will go to the forest specifically to search for the mushrooms to take photos of but that remains to be seen then.

red cap brittlegill (which is turned upside down) - is edible.
another red one, I think, is Amanita, it is toxic, medicinal and... also edible.
but generally saying it is not forageable and doesn't suits cooking :P

Yeah, I have heard that red one with white dots on it is poisonous. We also have a totally white one which should be even more poisonous but I don't remember when I last saw one.

In EN, they have a not so funny names of 'destroying angel' (Amanita bisporigera) and 'death cap' (Amanita phalloides) - they account for the overwhelming majority of mushroom poisoning deaths. Happily I dont meet them often either.

I don't eat shrooms myself, but they are nice to look at in the nature.

I especially love how the mushrooms that grow out the sides of trees look like.

Not sure if you want to know the names :P but the ones you captured at a golf field, probably are edible ones - something from this family: Armillaria sp. Better go as pickled.

These are some great pics. I've been thinking about taking a foraging class so I know which mushrooms are healthy and which shrooms are deadly.
