Amanita citrina white mushrooms pl 5.jpg


It's so cool to be able to see something I got to know from other users posts, but I never found it myself. It's like all the things you read finally make sense and come back to you...
"I know! I know what it is!"

Amanita citrina

Please do not quote me on this one. I am still not very confident identifying mushrooms and if I got this one right, correct me. I will not bite :)

But if it is Amanita citrina then you should know it contains toxins and should not be consumed. As any mushrooms that you don't know anyway.

I found it in a mostly pine forest, though there were some growing in parts of the woods with more leafy trees.
They can get quite large and some of the hats were reaching 12 cm across. Fully white with some slightly darker spots are easy to spot in the dark forest.

And just look at that skirt :)

And now the things I mentioned at the beginning of the post. No it's not the name. This one I asked google for.
But its the way the mushrooms grow. They were creating a huge ring! I couldn't catch it all as they were growing on the hill and the other part of it was invisible. The ring was few metres across with some larger, shroomless parts, but the circle shape was pretty visible.
I have never noticed that before, but of course it's because I didn't pay attention to it. I just saw many mushrooms and that's it. Also not all fungi grow like that.

On that trip I was walking around with my teenage nephew and he was pretty impressed with the ring and it was the first time he heard about such thing. He is pretty good mushroom picker though :)

Of course I had to check how AI will see "Amanita citrina" - yes, that's all I put there. And just look at that!! The single prompt gives me 4 images and I couldn't pick just one.

This first one is just so cool. I have no idea what it has to do with white mushrooms I guess it understood the "citrina" in a completely different way.

This one is cool too - a whole kingdom.

And last one, I promise.
This must be the Lemon queen of all Amanitas :D

With these ai interpretations you might not even need to leave the house. I'll need to check these things out, the end results are very interesting.

You've found a big group here. They tend to congregate together based on my experiences too. The circle of life as they say 😀

Spirals or circles. Nature seems to be full of them.

It is fun to play with them. I saw some people creating amazing images. It will not replace photography or a real painting, but it is fun to see the interpretations.

It was the first time I saw such big one. Two actually created from the same mushrooms. I have only seem them in other users posts and I think with different mushrooms too. They are so pretty!

I had no idea it was Amanita at all :D I usually go, shoot and then at home try to figure out what I got.

Those AI representations were sick!

I know, right :D

I’d be the last person on Earth to correct you with mushroom names 😅 All I know is edible or not edible or not sure and a few common Polish names for them 😅

I love the pretty skirt on that amanita!

Oh my! Those AI creations are simply incredible and magical 😍 What do you use to get this effect?

I feel a but like an unfaithful wife by not posting in Fungi Friday yesterday and join Market Friday yesterday, but it so happened that I went shopping on my off day. What a palaver it was! Had to share it 😅 I did enjoy many amazing fungi posts as every Friday though 💙

Haha, you always find a way to crack me up Ewka 😅😅😅 I bet we would be great friends in real life too!

I needed a brighter avatar to recognise myself on activity lists easier, so I played with some apps this morning. They took 20 years away from my face! Who needs a facelift?! 😅😅😅

Hello dear friend @ewkaw good day
What beautiful mushrooms, I love its clean and fleshy appearance, the skirt suits it very well, it is a pity that it is toxic and inedible.
Beautiful work of art that you have found
I take this opportunity to wish you a wonderful weekend

Or maybe it is good - at least people don't pick it and we can all enjoy seeing them growing happily :)

I always touch mushrooms when I find them... I guess it is not always advisable though. 😬

But I don't have to worry, I haven't seen any, since my last posts... Nada!

AI stands for Artificial Intelligence. Its basically a program that does things for you - this one creates images based on some short text.

You can post anything that is Fungi related and if it is photographs they can be shot anytime. It doesn't have to be this fall.
You can also post drawings, recipes... anything as long as it has fungi in it. And it has to be on Fridays :)

The skirt on the mushroom is pretty cool, I've never seen those on mushrooms before.

Then the AI images. Wow, so cool, I think the second one was my favourite.

Not all mushrooms have it (I think, or at least I didn't notice it on some).

Yeaaa it turned out pretty awesome. I think I am gonna try with some weird Latin names to see what it does :D
