FungiFriday - Magic Mushrooms & Glutinous Polypore
It's been a while since my last fungi share and because I have collected quite a few photographs taken in different days during my walks, I figured it's time to write about them today. One of my favorite routes when going for my leg workouts is the trail leading to the dirt road and it's where these ones were found.
These, according to Google Lens are Magic Mushrooms or Psilocybe Cubensis. They are commonly known as shrooms, golden halos, cubes, or gold caps. They belong to the fungus family Hymenogastraceae and were previously known as Stropharia cubensis." (Wiki)
This is the before shot and the first photo above was photographed a few days later.
They were growing on a mossy area and whilst some kept their conical shapes, other caps have cracked, spread almost flat and some have fallen too. Per Wiki, this type of fungi is a pan-tropical species and they occur in the Gulf Coast states and southeaster US, Mexico, Belize, Costa Rica and other parts of the Central American countries. They are also found in Southeast Asia, so that explains why we have them around here.
The way this shot was taken is rather funny. Their stems seem to have disappeared, lol!
And these few are already rotting. The biggest of them looks like a part of its cap had been burnt. I didn't really check what happened to it but maybe, that's how it decays. The white cracks on the cap are quite interesting.
Below is the biggest surprise I ever had on my walk and got on cam (please pardon the blurry shot). Was really mesmerized when I saw it. Although I had been seeing mushrooms around here, this was my first time to see one literally break out from under the ground. Never really thought fungi grow from under there. That probably because most of what I saw in the past were growing on decaying logs and tree trunks. Truth be told, the husband had a lot of laughter at my expense because of my ignorance, lol!
Can't help including this one. It had water droplet on it.
These on the other hand were photographed this morning and were identified by Google Lens as Gloeoporus dichrous or Gelatinous-pored Polypore.
- Gloeoporus means "a glutinous or sticky polypore";
- Dichrous means "two colors" in reference to the two distinct colors of the cap and pore surface. (Source)
They are growing on the dead log at the backyard. These ones obviously hairy and the orange colors on the top cap (above photo) are quite distinct. Below image is the underside of the cap.
There are two of them there, a larger one (over 3 inch in length) which some weeds had penetrated on, and a small piece probably 1 inch long. It fascinates me seeing different types of fungi sprout from the same log over the years. Perhaps in the coming months, these will disappear and new ones will grow again. Would be sharing them again for sure!
This by the way is my contribution to #FungiFriday hosted by @ewkaw. Thank you for this initiative :)
Meanwhile, it's Fri-Yay already!
The sun is bright today and things are looking great so far but I'm kinda missing the birds' chirping. It's so quiet this morning which is good but it feels a little odd. Maybe I'm still adjusting after being around people and a lot of chitchats in the past two days.
Anyhow, here's to a fantastic Friday! 🥂🍻

I don't think those mushrooms can be cooked to eat. !LOLZ
They can't haha. And even if they are edible, I won't be picking any of them 😅

Quite a beautiful shot of those mushrooms. I love to see mushrooms growing like that.
Thank you, glad to read you like them. They are quite fascinating.

Some of the mushrooms you shared I have never seen here, and they look very interesting, the pictures you share are also amazing
My first time as well to see these types. Or maybe I just didn't notice them before. Thank you :)

Your shared one is looking beautiful but I feel that the white mushroom is more beautiful than other colorful mushrooms.
!PIZZA
I actually didn't spend much time photographing them, haha. I'm the laziest when it comes to taking photos. Glad that a few of them turned out to be okay.
Thanks you lots, !PIZZA
That means you captured a lot of photographs. If I were in your place I might take 3-5 photographs only.
On the contrary, of all the shots taken, only two photos were not included here :)
Very interesting mushroom, looks like oily, this is very good.
They are indeed. They look oily probably because some of them were wet from the rain.😅 Thank you.
The mushroom from the ground;
I've seen a lot of it and some of them are edible 😎.
Nice captions.
It's great that you've seen a lot. Have you picked and cooked some?😊
!CTP
Sure.
Each time I visits my villa and farm, I don't miss eating mushrooms
That is good to hear. I think there isn't any edible mushrooms around here.

Thank you lots, I appreciate it :)
Naglipana mga mushrooms ngayon dahil sa ulan. Sa amin marami rin dahil sa madalas na thunderstorm.
True yan :) Hindi umulan dito ilang araw na :)

Wow, those are some amazing photos! I'm no expert on fungi, but I can definitely appreciate their beauty and diversity.
I'm glad you were able to identify some of them using Google Lens. It's always interesting to learn more about the natural world around us.
e Gelatinous-pored Polypore is also a very interesting fungus. I've never seen one with such a distinct orange color. It's amazing how many different types of fungi there are, and how they can vary in appearance so much.
Thank you :) Glad apps like Google Lens are useful in things like these :) They are pretty interesting and different from the usual fungi which we often see around.

Beautiful mushrooms photo shot.
Many thanks, I appreciate your kind remarks.

These things are very beneficial to human health and many people like to eat them and also to see them its very beautiful.
Thank you. I'm not sure though if these are edible.
!CTP
Most welcome.

Haha, sounds like you got a fright 😁
