Just got drenched walking in the woods, but it was worth it for some big chunky amethyst chanterelles. Some of them had these cool rosecomb mutations:

Tea definitely does this every time he goes out,

Fungal explosion in our woods. Will try to post more pics if upload limits don't get me.

You have to get an imgur account, but in all seriousness, we could do with a way to get phone photos in the upload.

There was a bit of discussion at some point and droid said "photos are killing dissensus" but perhaps there's a way to make them smaller at point of upload.

I've noticed a lot of people don't bother posting photos anymore cos the faff of having to do an imgur or similar is too much

Just use this. You don't need an account. All you need to do is upload the photo then copy-paste the URL into the image insert tool on here,

Yeah once you've got an imgur account it's basically the same process but what I'm saying is no one can be arsed messing round with urls, they want to drag and drop off their phone

Ah, fair. I forget people use Dissensus on their phones.

You've got to consider the boomers on here not everyone is a spring chicken liked yoh and the americans

I think I'm the Boomer in this instance as I'm using an actual computer.

It's uncanny!

It's a reverse hipster move

I enjoyed this last week, forgot to post it here

I own a physarum-based NFT, so I was intrigued.

This morning, some big ones

And a perfect little puffball (?)

 

[Mr. Tea]

Your last one there is an earthball - toxic, unlike the puffballs, which are good edibles.

 

[catalog]

Ah. Yeah I'm glad I didn't pick it in that case!

You worked up the courage to pick any mushrooms for food yet?

 

[catalog]

no, but then i've not seen any very attractive ones. not been especially on the lookout for them either...

I found one small cep yesterday - and that's all I've found, all year! Diabolical year for them. OTOH, it's been great for chanterelles.
