Went this weekend for a foraging event - I have to say I am not brave enough to pick up mushrooms but I was fascinated by the beauty of those plants. I took some snapshots with my phone which I am uploading here.
Any foraging experts in here? Please post your pictures of mushrooms.
I found this one - very proud of myself - apparently it belongs to the porcini family of mushrooms.

Photographing Mushrooms... ...not smoking... 
...should be a cool thread.
I play it safe and only eat the ones purchased at the grocery store.

This one looks like Russula Emetica, which I would not eat. Not sure about the other two.

When I lived and worked in Moldova and often traveled to Kyiv, Ukraine, lots of mushrooms were being sold by the side of the road. I never bought any after a Moldovan doc explained that most had high radioactive contamination levels following the Chornobyl disaster. Cheers, OtL

Mushroom fact for ya: Fungi are not plants but a separate group of organisms beside animals, plants, bacteria etc.

I'm still a little fuzzy myself on the distinction between a toadstool vs. mushroom. Some use it interchangeably.

Here's one I found in a nearby park while out for a wander yesterday:
(X-Pro 2 with a Contax-to-Fuji adapter and a Helios-103)
Best I can figure is it's a Shaggy Foliota, but I'm terrible at identifying mushrooms, so I would never want to take the risk even if I thought it was something edible. A friend of mine did his dissertation on mushrooms and fungi many years back, and he's always finding edible ones. I was once walking with him through the woods only for him to dart off the path and scramble a good 30m (about 33 yards) up a hill through some trees. When I followed him, I found him excitedly admiring something no one else would have spotted: some Chicken of the Woods growing on a dead tree. He broke off a huge slab of it and carried it all the way through the Kentish countryside for the rest of the day.
He said it tasted incredible; I'll take his word for it.

Maybe not a mushroom, but fungus. Really curious what this is (taken in the Shenandoah Valley, Virginia, USA)

I just searched and I'm surprised we don't have a dedicated moss or lichen thread?
