#FungiFriday
Panaeolus semiovatus or shiny mottlegill, spotted on my walk on Shoveldon, #Dartmoor last Saturday.
A single toadstool growing amongst grass. The cap is shiny and very light brown, Andy the slender stem has a small white ring about half way up its length.


Early #FungiFriday cause camping! Ganoderma shelf #fungi #FantasticFungi Unreal looking 👀 & on the ground away from the redwoods ❣️#nature not a #mushroom Looks like an alien life form to me, my #mastodon friends 🤓
An alien life form on the floor of the redwood forest, white outer rim, yellow, and then red Ing over to the ground all very shiny and plastic looking! It’s a ganoderma shelf fungi.
Sideways view showing the bright white rim. Rising up from the ground, amongst wood, sorrel, green clover, like leaves.
This shows the Shel fungi rising up from the ground with its red top spilling over. It’s about 6 inches wide at its widest diameter. And about 3 inches thick.😘


For #FungiFriday, here is a picture of Fomes Fomentarius, commonly known as the Tinder Fungus or Hoof Fungus. It boasts a rich history as a fire starter, in textile crafting, and in medicinal use. Ötzi, the Iceman, carried this fungus with him 5,000 years ago. The Tinder Fungus surely held cultural significance; it's known to have been carried as a lucky charm. Unfortunately, I'm unaware of any specific #Folklore tied to it. Anyone in the know?

Here's a fun Hungarian folktale about the origin of #mushrooms:

When Jesus and St. Peter walked the earth Jesus sent Peter to a house to ask for some flat bread. Peter took an extra piece and hid it in his pocket. As they walked on he kept nibbling in secret, walking behind Jesus.
However, every time he took a bite, Jesus asked a question, and Peter had to spit out the bread to answer.
From the spat-out bites the first mushrooms sprouted along the road 🍄

So, by no power invested in me whatsoever, I declare this week's #FolkloreFriday theme to be mushrooms, in honor of #FungiFriday
