Golf course delivers
I'm always on the look out for mushrooms for a Fungi Friday post.
Like many times before my local golf course delivered. There's a section of forestry to left of the 8th hole where I always goil to look for a few golf balls as it's always easy to find five or six week and ten balls in 5 or 10 minutes if I'm just out practicing abd that's where I spotted these mushrooms.
They are competing here with Ivy and other plants for nutrients and sunlight, but look to have eeked out their little spot.
I'm not sure if they're edible and I won't be finding out either. I just left these guys to their own devices, but got in close with my camera phone for a couple of shots.
What is Fungi Friday?
First things first, have a look on the #fungifriday community and scroll back to some of @ewkaw's Friday posts to hear all about it and get snapping the next time that you see mushrooms in the wild.
My golf course is great for mad looking mushrooms and it is in fact soon going to be that time of year when these guys start sprouting up around the golf course again and I always like sharing these photos as they're pretty cool if I may say so myself.
Thanks as always for stopping by everyone.
Peace Out
Some amazing shots my friend, this last type of mushroom is really beautiful.
Thanks a lot
How great it is to visit the golf course and have the opportunity to see and photograph this beautiful species of mushrooms
Beautiful shots dear friend @ablaze
Nice one @jlufer Thanks a million.
Golf is great, as even on the days when you don't play well, you can still enjoy nature alk around you.
White and beautiful, the mushroom that stuck in the ground was very elegant.
Thanks @naisfreedom
Appreciate the support and comment
Mycelium are a fascinating branch of natural species 😜
Live the light on these photos, was the light just nice or did you bounce some light in on your photos?
How ya Nick.
These photos had no light bounced in, all natural light.
Thanks for popping in with a great comment 👍
Those white ones look like peppery lactarius aka Lactarius piperatus. And guess what they are edible and easy to figure out. Just take a tiny taste test and if it burns the heck out of your tongue its a piperatus. Or if you want to take a step before the nibble test just cut the gills and if milk comes out its at least in the lactarius family and not deadly poisonous. I usually dry these and use the powder as a spice, it tastes just like black pepper.
Fair play to you using things like mushrooms that occur naturally. As a society, it's something we could all approve upon in my opinion.
Wisconsin is one of the best places to mushroom hunt. It has double the mushrooms that us FIBs have lol. Though I would probably avoid any found on golf courses since they use heavy duty pesticides there and mushrooms tend to absorb alot of them.
