Winter fungi

Winter is not really a mushroom season, but some hardy varieties just keep persisting.

8m tall fungus

There was a giant fungus living 420 million years ago, named Prototaxites, and it was one of the earliest settlers on land.

Snakeskin grizette

Snakeskin grisette - a close relative of the feared death cap, but not as poisonous, according to some references. Still, better left alone!

Instagram!

Fungidelight is now on Instagram, and it looks like it will be the main platform for sharing mushroom adventures from now on. There is not much time for text in my life now, sadly, however I always have my mobile phone with me, and posting those finds is only a matter of a couple of taps.

I will be posting mushroom-related images here, but the Instagram account is not just about mushrooms, but mainly the beauty of nature.

Enjoy!
