Cep (Porcini Mushroom) growing in the autumn forest

Group of mushrooms growing in a vegetable garden.

Days of rain, in Alaska, have cause an invasion of mushrooms. A natural process in decay, these mushrooms offer an amazing example of natural beauty.

Russula krombholtzii Shaffer syn. Russula atropurpurea (Krombh.) Britz. non Pk. Feketésvörös galambgomba Blackish-red Russula. Cap 4-10cm across, convex then flattened with slight depression; dark blackish purple at center, paler, more blood red at margin, often mottled with paler, discolored areas; smooth, slightly viscid when wet. Gills adnexed, crowded; palish cream. Stem 30-60 x 10-20mm, fairly firm, later softer and easily broken; white, often becoming grayish with age. Flesh white. Odor rather fruity, of apples. Taste from almost mild to rather hot. Spores ovoid, 7-9 x 6-7µ; with warts joined by fine ridges to form a well-developed but not quite complete network. Deposit whitish (A-B). Cap cystidia abundant, cylindrical to somewhat club-shaped, without septa. Habitat usually under oak or other deciduous trees. Common. Found widely throughout northeastern North America, west to Michigan. Season June-October. Not edible. (Never eat any mushroom until you are certain it is edible as many are poisonous and some are deadly poisonous.) (source R. Phillips).

Warted Oak Polypore Fungus, Also Know As Weeping Conk, Weeping Polypore, Oak Bracket, Inonotus Dryadeus

Phallus impudicus Pers. syn. Ithyphallus impudicus (L.) Fr. Gemeine Stinkmorchel Phallus Impudique, Satyre puant, Oeuf du diable, Stinkhorn. Fruit body initially semi-submerged and covered by leaf-litter, egg-like, 3–6cm across, attached to substrate by a cord-like mycelial strand. The outer wall of the egg is white to pinkish but there is a thick gelatinous middle layer held between the membranous inner and outer layers. The egg is soon ruptured, as the white hollow stalk-like receptacle extends to 10–25cm high, the pendulous, bell-shaped head is covered by a meshwork of raised ribs covered in dark olive slime which contains the spores. This slime has a strong sickly offensive smell which attracts flies from large distances, the slime sticks to the legs of the flies and thus acts as a means of spore dispersal which takes place very rapidly, exposing the underlying mesh of the cap. Spores pale yellow.

Wild Boletus Edulis - Edible and excellent taste.

Wild oyster mushrooms grow on logs, wild mushrooms grow on dead wood. Wild forest mushrooms are flat round

$Calvatia utriformis (Bull. ex Pers.) Jaap syn. Handkea utriformis (Bull.) Pers. syn. Calvatia caelata (Bull. ex Pers.) Morgan syn. Lycoperdon caelatum Bull. ex Pers. Hasenbovist Pikkelyes pöfeteg, repedéses szétesõpöfeteg Vesse-de-loup ciselée. Fruit body 6–12cm across, squat and pear-shaped when mature tapering towards the base, white to pale grey-brown finally darker brown, outer wall consisting of scurfy warts and soon breaking up into hexagonal patches leaving the fragile inner wall to flake off irregularly at the top. Gleba olivaceous-brown and powdery; sterile base thick, up to one-half of the fruit-body. Spores olive-brown, globose, warted, 4–5µ in diameter. Habitat in pastures or on heaths, usually on sandy soil. Season summer to late autumn but the old cup-shaped sterile bases often persisting from one season to the next. Uncommon – more frequent in the northern Europe. Edible when young (R. Phillips).\n\nI photographed this edible Mushroom in the Sand Dunes of Zeeland (the Netherlands).$

Stem 30–230 x 30–70(110)mm, robust, pallid with white net. Flesh white, unchanging, flushed dirty straw-colour or vinaceous in cap. Taste and smell pleasant. Tubes white becoming grey-yellow. Pores small and round, similarly coloured. Spore print olivaceous snuff-brown. Spores subfusiform, 14–17 x 4.5–5.5µ. Habitat coniferous, broad-leaved or mixed woodland. Season summer to late autumn. Common. Edible – excellent. Distribution, America and Europe. This fungus is perhaps the most important edible species, it can often be found on sale in continental markets. Commercially it is dried and used as flavouring for soups (source R. Phillips).
