:))). Thanks for sharing. Still do not know what it is. I wonder which of these mushrooms/fungi are safe to eat? I know most of the pretty-looking mushrooms are poisonous but still we had to have a mushroom expert if we have to look for edible ones. We often dined there on weekends and enjoyed those gorgeous grounds. Will be nice for the ground to be getting that much water. Nice to know that you found it helpful. Peggy Woods (author) from Houston, Texas on October 09, 2013: Glad you liked this. Haha! Question: What are the penis-shaped mushrooms growing under my tree? That way they will not keep spreading their spores. Appreciate the votes. Mushrooms like to grow on decaying matter. Thanks for sharing. When the sun hits them they rapidly seem to curl up and disappear back into the ground from which they sprung. Thanks for your comment. Answer: That phallic-shaped mushroom which has a foul odor much like rotting flesh has the name Phallus impudicus. It is certainly unusual looking! Good luck! I do like the pines and azaleas, etc. Question: After having an egg color from the beginning, what causes wild mushrooms to become dark in color? Another is a Forest Floor Goatee Keulenpilz Coral-like Mushroom. They continually recycle essential nutrients to the soil or their hosts. :). Thanks for your comment and votes. thank you! There are probably many others as well. There are so many shapes and sizes! Peggy Woods (author) from Houston, Texas on April 08, 2020: It is a difficult question to answer without seeing the mushroom. I couldn't find any information on them, only a picture. I found a mushroom in New Brunswick Canada and it was in clusters under apple trees. We do purchase a good many at our grocery stores! Some of them are pretty, and all are interesting. Photos of your mushrooms and your cousins are incredible, I too was thinking umbrella for the paper thin one shown near the beginning! Each year that became a singular dining event when the morels were picked and eaten. If I am correct, you would not want to do so in any case. That is great. {{familyColorButtonText(colorFamily.name)}}, View {{carousel.total_number_of_results}} results. Will add them soon to this hub. I don't really know why because I don't use them for anything (like a neat hub) but somehow, mushrooms in the wild speak to meā€¦and I'm not trying to be funny here. Peggy Woods (author) from Houston, Texas on April 10, 2015: We stick to purchasing our mushrooms in grocery stores also to be safe. It does sound pretty. India Arnold from Northern, California on November 04, 2011: Wow! Today, I found a mushroom/fungi in my yard. Thanks for your comment. It would be wonderful to have the knowledge to be able to safely harvest them from the wild. We do it annually in our climate of Houston. We have recently had some of them growing in some of our mulched beds. Peggy Woods (author) from Houston, Texas on October 09, 2018: Some mushrooms do smell bad to attract flies and other insects which then transmit their spores to other places. The pictures are awesome! Choose mushrooms without white gills. They're beautiful. There are many edible mushrooms, but there are also many that are poisonous. donandjoan1963@att.net on October 09, 2018: i am trying to find out about a mushroom growing in my yard and i can't find a picture of it it gets big and it's brown on top and very black and smelly underneath it will turn the grass black and slimly and it stinks so bad it smell like a dead animal if you let it die it kills the grass and a nasty black mess is left .. when someone comes to visit they tell there is a dead animal around and when i tell them it's a mushroom they don't believe me ...can you PLEASE tell me about them and how i can get rid of them ??? Mushroom who? They are so unique that they stand out, calling to be noticed. Frank Atanacio from Shelton on April 12, 2018: this was fascinating.. Love the details and the photos.. I've always been told the puff balls are poisonous. Peggy Woods (author) from Houston, Texas on December 30, 2011: Thanks for your comment on this hub regarding mushrooms and fungus. Then there are the magic mushrooms. Movie Master from United Kingdom on June 05, 2011: Hi Peggy, another hub of beautiful photos, a real delight! Instead, put them into a plastic bag and discard in the garbage. Any mushroom identification guide necessarily starts with a precaution. Voted up across the board, thanks for sharing... Peggy Woods (author) from Houston, Texas on August 30, 2012: I am amazed at the beauty and diversity of mushrooms found in our yard and elsewhere. Did you feel safe enough to cook with it? Can you identify it. They also thrive in moist and humid conditions. We suffered no ill effects but I am certainly not advising anyone to start harvesting and eating what they deem to be puffballs. I don't want them to consume and rot out the base of this beautiful carving! The tiny black edged mushrooms pictured above appeared in the shredded pine bark that we use as mulch in our garden beds. One picture I saw was of a mushroom that looks like white coral. Love gorgeous nature pictures like these. So seeing these very illusive little umbrella-shaped mushrooms is a treat that does not last long. Linda Crampton from British Columbia, Canada on January 01, 2014: I love the photos, Peggy! Leah Lefler from Western New York on November 04, 2011: Great pictures, Peggy! I have dug them up and applied fungicide to the base, but they return in greater numbers each year. The IBM strategic repository for digital assets such as images and videos is located at dam.ibm.com. The puffballs were delicious! Also found in our garden one day. Ours tend to be on the smaller side, though there was a big "deaths cap" growing in our neighbor's yard that I should have photographed when I got the chance. I have added your "Pictures of Mushrooms in Western New York" link to this hub so that people finding this can also see yours up in that part of the country. Perhaps you will look at mushrooms in the stores or growing wild in nature with a little more understanding of the important nature of their job. Like you, I would also love to go wild mushroom picking with someone who could advise us as to their safety. i love wild mushrooms and tveral over 300 miles to pick certain varieties! Peggy Woods (author) from Houston, Texas on July 06, 2012: Yes, mushrooms and fungi can be very beautiful. What unusual mushroom shots! The only ones I have noticed here are the ones we call "toad stools" and the ones we hunt for in the spring "morals"...yum! Since it appeared at Halloween, many of my friends thought I had planted it. Peggy Woods (author) from Houston, Texas on May 13, 2013: Just wish I knew more about which mushrooms are safe to eat and which are not. Digging them out and removing their matted roots below the ground can help. Have you tried matching it up online, or consulting a book featuring mushrooms? It never lasts long...not even a day. The mushrooms are grouped by family, so closely related mushrooms are listed together. Thus these types of mushrooms are symbiotic in nature. I was curious if they're edible. Wish I knew which ones would be safe to eat because we love eating mushrooms. Those are undoubtedly mycorrhizal mushrooms living on and aiding the roots of those trees. Peggy Woods (author) from Houston, Texas on April 13, 2015: You are like me. Peggy Woods (author) from Houston, Texas on July 07, 2014: No natural mulch lasts forever and those mushrooms are just doing their job of breaking it down which will eventually make it into your soil enriching it. Can I use lime? I have not yet captured some of the really unusual orange- to reddish-colored ones that always seem to appear during the Christmas season in our front yard. Don't worry! Found these beauties in our yard one day. Look up Mycorrhiza on Wikipedia to learn more. Voted up up and away shared and googe + and twitter and pinned to Awesome HubPages, Angels are on the way to you once again this evening ps.
