Got any pics to share?
I do have an i-phone I was given, bit of a waste really as I make about two calls a week, but I am afraid I am a twentieth century survivor and have never been able to learn how to post pictures, Put it in 'search' and no results, anyone care to give me simple instructions?

Anyway, they are of the psilocybin type, clusters of small smooth, rounded 'mushrooms' with a little lump on top, and a slightly fibrous stalk, not uncommon. I was hoping for some shaggy ink caps, they grow on buried wood and are very tasty when they are young.

I'd be glad to try and lay out a lamens term step-by-step directions for you, if you promise not to laugh too hard and also have a system I'm familiar with. Ha! Which I-Phone do you have and what system is your PC running on? (which windows system or mac etc)

Here's some I took last spring. What I did was take the pic upside down, slipping the phone underneath the vegetation. Then I flip the photo over afterwards with the edit button later. It's a good way to get your phone into tight places. Focus is tricky but you get the hang of it trying things and experimenting. I like taking pics of micro-scapes in my yard, if you can't already tell. (think: Honey, I Shrunk the Kids!)

It’s pretty funky lol
Now I want to scour my gardens and find something bizarre :D
You totally should! Ha ha! Dooooo it!

I am doing some moral mushroom hunting this weekend. If I am able to pick a decent bunch I'll post some pics before and after the stir fry :)

I'm loving the pics on this thread!

Lol! I see now. Even though I know the difference I do that sometimes when I am typing but my mind is focused on something else.

I don't know what the following two are but the first one grows in the lawns, the second around a Rowan tree stump and may be Honey fungus

Brilliant photos and fungi in this thread. The second photo is an edible 'field mushroom'.
