It is mushroom season. I can tell that by the YELLOW LEAVES that lend their golden glow to the background of my photos. The playful wind that brushed the grass is now adding autumn flare to my hair and I get up from the ground after another mushroom photo session with a tiara of leaves and needles.
The fresh air cannot keep the mushrooms alive anymore and with the end of September comes the end of Mushroom Season.
For a third week in a row I officially ask you, my readers, to help me identify the mushrooms I have photographed in the forest. I know that many of you know them, pick them, eat them, and even use them for dyeing fabrics! I believe this would be the only way for me to learn at least their names. Later on, I will attempt creating a Mushroom series, which will include your words and my photos - a kind of collective guest posting experience. Quite the collaboration and exactly what communities like ours are about! And since the works in my blog are shared under Creative Commons, you will be able to repost the series on your own blogs.
Are we going to play the game for the last time this season?
Here is the third batch of photos.

Your found a nice assortment.I'm afraid I know nothing about mushrooms...can't help with the ID.
ReplyDeleteI know the last one only, a psilocybin. We have forests of them here. They're the psychedelic ones.
ReplyDeleteAll your photos are beautiful, and it's great to meet you.
I am pretty sure the last one is Fly Agaric here is the wikipedia article about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanita_muscaria
ReplyDeleteplease, don't eat it! :)

I don't know any of them, but do know none are edible!
ReplyDeleteLovely collection, I have enjoyed the mushroom "series":) The last one reminds me of some fairy tale stool:):) Can't hardly wait for your photos of Fall in your part of the world Sonya:)
ReplyDeleteI don't know the first thing about mushrooms, but these are spotless!
ReplyDeleteAlthough I must say, I never saw a psilocybin mushroom that looked like that last one (they tend to look more like #4)
There, my contribution!
Oh boy! if I say I think I've seen all these in my Romanian forests and studied them all in college then all that remains is to find the time to determine what is what!:))And I will this weekend, if I find time..
