FungiFriday - Queen of the woods

avatar

Amanita pantherina pl 4.jpg


The woods in the early fall are amazing (and it is probably my favourite time of the year to go there)! When the weather is not so hot anymore and it starts to rain more often the mushrooms are popping like crazy. I managed to catch the perfect combo recently in Poland. Stunning woods were calling me and I could not resist. Not even mosquitos, spiders and ticks could scare me off.

Yes - I have huge folder filled with fungi that will last me for while :)

The closest woods to my house is relatively young and besides some edible ones that I picked, it was filled with the large Amanitas. I just can't figure out which one is it. Google shows me similar images for Amanita brunnescens and Amanita pantherina. Any help is appreciated :)
Or is it not Amanita at all?

It doesn't even matter much what mushrooms it is. It was stunning with the flipped hat and exposed gills.

I mentioned the woods are great. Mostly pines with some lower bushes. Clean, with sin shining though and plenty of green moss around. And all that just 10 min walk from home :D

Looks like camera liked the little cones more 👇

There are some similarities in the weather in my area with the place you are referring to, after a long wait for rain it is now raining and the forest/plants are growing normally again. Even Fungi which are classified as young plants grow madly wherever they are, they show their beauty to everyone.

The fall rains are almost like magic :) Everything is alive for a moment just to die again before the winter.

Ow! A wild mushroom! I often see one when rainy days in some areas of our place but I know that it's not safe to eat. They are just popping out of nowhere!

Gorgeous photos! I've been waiting for these mushrooms to show up but I haven't seen any yet. I guess in a week or two they might start popping up in the forest. 😊 Also, I have only seen them around hazel trees. Have you noticed a specific environment there where you found them?

To forest is mostly pines and some leafy bushes. I could be that there are some hazel around, but I didn't pay attention to that :p

Great photos!

My favorite time of the year is spring too.
And I love the forest and the smell of pines! You must have felt it while walking on it :-)

I actually like any time of the year as long as it is below 25 degrees C :P
So summer is not my most favourite time.

I like it when the temperature is +25-26, not higher :-)
But spring is my favorite time of the year.
