Pictures of Mushrooms and Fungus - Wild ones!
88Mushroom and Fungi photos
This hub will show pictures of wild mushrooms and fungi that have occurred in our home garden as well as elsewhere. Some of these infrequent guests that seem to appear overnight when the conditions are right are stunningly beautiful...or at the least, unusual and worthy of note.
A few pictures of ones that have shown up in our backyard on occasion are included here. I did not yet capture some really unusual orange to reddish colored ones that always seem to appear during the Christmas season in our front yard. Perhaps I'll try and get some photos this year and add them to this hub later.
My very talented and artistic cousin, Bill Gullickson, who lives in Peoria, Illinois emailed me photos of wild mushrooms and fungi that he has captured on film in a nearby woods where he takes frequent walks.
People reading this hub will get the benefit of seeing a much greater diversity of beautifully shaped and colored mushrooms than the ones merely appearing in our garden thanks to Bill's photographic efforts and his willingness to share his pictures with others.

- Wild Mushrooms, HYG-3303
There are 2,000 or more kinds of wild mushrooms in Ohio. They grow in a wide variety of habitats. Some good photos and other facts...
The tiny mushrooms that are pictured above are like small translucent parasols. They are on average no more than about two inches high and primarily show up in a rock garden area of our yard.
When the sun hits them they rapidly seem to curl up and disappear back into the ground from which they sprung. So seeing these very illusive little umbrella-shaped mushrooms is a treat that does not last long.

- What do Mushrooms do?
More great photos + more information
Some mushroom terminology...
In reading about mushrooms the word mycelium was used.
The AOL dictionary describes mycelium in the following terms: "the mass of interwoven filamentous hyphae that forms especially the vegetative portion of the thallus of a fungus and is often submerged in another body (as of soil or organic matter or the tissues of a host)"
These interconnected woven mat-like strands of cells can cover small areas or huge ones that cover multiple acres of land. Mycelium can also be found inside the roots of some trees. While most of it may be unseen, it does the job of filtering needed nutrients and recycling them.
Mushrooms are like the fruits of a fungus. They produce spores which are similar to seeds and are spread by wind or even other animals who have come in contact with them.
Mycorrhizal mushrooms benefit both themselves and the roots of living trees where they become attached. Besides increasing the water and nutrient absorption to the trees or their roots, mycorrhizal mushrooms also offer some resistance to other plant pathogens thus helping to protect the trees. Thus these types of mushrooms are symbiotic in nature.
Have you ever noticed rings of mushrooms growing around trees? Those are undoubtedly mycorrhizal mushrooms living on and aiding the roots of those trees.
This, in fact, is the prime role that all mushrooms and fungi do. They continually recycle essential nutrients to the soil or their hosts.
Parasitic mushrooms reside on living plants and can often end up killing their hosts. However they still have some value. Taxol the potent anti-cancer drug found to be effective in treating breast cancer comes from a parasitic mushroom, as an example.
Saprophytic mushrooms recycle already dead plant material.
The tiny black edged mushrooms pictured above and to the right appeared in the shredded pine bark that we use as mulch in our garden beds. Undoubtedly they were saprophytic mushrooms doing their job of speeding up the breakdown of that mulch. No wonder we have to top-dress our mulch every year because it seems to disappear!
Most of the gourmet mushrooms that are offered up for sale and eaten each year are saprophytic in nature. Oyster mushrooms are an example.

The attractive mushrooms photographed above were found on the side of our yard one day. They seemed to be growing right out of the soil. There was no mulch or apparent rotting wood nearby.
On that last photo, I moved them, broke them in half and laid them on an area that had been mulched just to take the picture. I have no idea what type of mushrooms they were, but they were very substantial and fleshy.
Below is a stunning array of different varieties of mushrooms showing distinctive forms, colors and textures. I have my cousin Bill to thank for these pictures.

Colorful wild mushrooms
Picking wild mushrooms
When I was a child growing up in the countryside of Wisconsin, there was a woods nearby. Under one particular tree in the Spring of the year was found some morel mushrooms that seemed to thrive in that one spot. The best description of what a morel mushrooms looks like is that of a sea sponge.
Each year that became a singular dining event when the morels were picked and eaten. My mother simply sauteed them in butter.
The very last year before my parents relocated to Texas we were informed by a native Indian lady who lived nearby that the puffballs that we kids had been playing with for years were edible. We had been picking the white globe-like mushrooms and then would throw the puffballs onto the ground with some force. They would explode in a "puff" of smokiness...obviously the spores were widespread by us doing that. Possibly that is how they received their name?
The puffballs were delicious! Had we only known that they were edible, we could have been easily supplied with free mushrooms for many months of the year. The puffballs would grow to diameters of between 8 to 24 inches, so were very large mushrooms. They matured in the Fall of the year and were very abundant where we happened to live.
That being said, I would never encourage anyone to pick and eat wild mushrooms without being really sure of what one is doing. There are many look alike mushrooms and some are very poisonous.
Be safe, rather than sorry!

Final thoughts...
Perhaps you will look at mushrooms in the stores or growing wild in nature with a little more understanding of the important nature of their job.
To recap...mushrooms provide a source of food.
They help break down decaying organisms and redistribute nutrients.
There are medicinal uses for mushrooms and they are even being utilized in some cases of toxic waste cleanups.
Hopefully you have enjoyed these pictures of the various types of mushroom, fungi and especially all the wild ones provided so graciously by my cousin Bill.

How i love mushrooms in truth, they are very delicious and nutritious indeed, beautiful informative hub.
Hi Vinaya,
I am assuming that you pick the mushrooms to be able to eat them. Wish I knew more about how to do that safely. For now, I just satisfy myself with taking photos. Thanks for your comment.
In the rainy season, when I'm in my farm, I go looking for wild mushrooms in the jungle. This is one of my fun activities.
Your hub gave me a nostalgic feelings.
Hi KoffeeKlatch Gals,
I too find mushrooms and fungi to be not only fascinating but also very beautiful. Obviously we share the same opinion. Glad to hear that you liked all these photos. Thanks for your comment and votes.
Peggy, your pictures are amazing. I find mushrooms as beautiful and varied as flowers. Some are so delicate and some look like a brain but they are all beautiful. Wonderful job. up, awesome and beautiful.
Hello techygran,
Thanks for your comment on this hub regarding mushrooms and fungus. Nice to know that you found it helpful.
fantastic hub for mushroom lovers and people who are just interested in getting to know more about such things! thank you!
Hello tifa,
Here is a link in which you might be interested:

Hope it helps! Thanks for commenting on these pictures of mushrooms and fungi hub.
hello i need som information about the conditions for grow wild mushroms.please guide me.
Hi K9keystrokes,
And thanks to leahlefler for pointing me in your direction. Your mushroom hub along with Leah's adds to the enjoyment of anyone interested in this topic. Thanks for linking this to your hub as well.
Wow! What unusual mushroom shots! I can't believe I missed this photo gallery until now! So glad I found it today though. The first grouping of translucent mushroom pictures in simply outstanding. They look like fancy tiny umbrellas only found in those classy fashion regions of Paris! This is a Hub worth adding (link-a-dinking) to my own, I am so pleased to have found it; thank you very much Peggy!

Hi Leah,
The mushrooms and fungi grow year round down here in Houston. Wish I knew all the names of them as you do. I have added your "Pictures of Mushrooms in Western New York" link to this hub so that people finding this can also see yours up in that part of the country. Thanks!
Great pictures, Peggy! It took me a minute to find this one - I love it! Some of your mushrooms are HUGE! Ours tend to be on the smaller side, though there was a big "deaths cap" growing in our neighbor's yard that I should have photographed when I got the chance. The snow is bound to fly soon, so most of our fungi have retreated for the year!
Hello moren,
I have enjoyed taking these mushroom and fungus pictures as has my cousin Bill who also contributed to the visuals in this hub. Glad you liked them! Thanks for your comment.
i love this pictues they give so much nentuasimn to it
Hello findburger,
I agree that many of these mushrooms are pretty. Thanks for your comment.
some of these mushrooms are pretty cool looking like whoh to the puffball
Hello Cherrie,
Mushrooms are spread by spores and can lie dormant in the ground until just the right growing conditions are right for it to grow. I would suggest that you pick the mushrooms as soon as you see them so that they do not mature and spread more spores. Perhaps eventually you will eliminate them. Good luck!
I have this mushroom that looks like someone crath on the top of it. It has a foul odor I can smell it before seeing it what will stop it from growing
Hi 2patricias,
There is always next time! I actually took photos yesterday and will again today of the largest mushroom I have ever seen in our yard. There are actually 2 of them growing close together. Amazing! Will add them soon to this hub. Thanks for the visit and comment.
This is a really interesting hub - so many photos, and all different.
I opened this one because today I noticed two different sorts of mushrooms growing very close together in my garden. It didn't occur to me to take pictures and now I wish I had.
I will come back and read this hub again - thanks.
Good luck to you Mily V. in Md. Be safe rather than sorry when it comes to picking and consuming wild mushrooms!
I am very interested in finding edible wild mushrooms but am becoming quickly overwhelmed. Can anyone please look at some pictures on my facebook and give any insight?
Hello Movie Master,
The only wild mushrooms I have ever picked were the morels and puffballs...but that was so many years ago going back to my childhood days. Like you, I would also love to go wild mushroom picking with someone who could advise us as to their safety. I am no expert...far from it! Glad you liked these photos and the information and thanks for your comment.
Hi Peggy, another hub of beautiful photos, a real delight! I would love to go wild mushroom picking with someone who knows what they're doing, wished you lived closer.... great info thank you.
Hi Billy,
Nice to see you here commenting again on this mushroom hub. Had a pretty red colored one come up in the lawn a few days ago! :)))
I came back to the hub to check on a few fungi - great resource for gardeners and mushroom fans alike.
Hi Dave,
I think that mushrooms are fascinating and they are so different. Like eating them also! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.
Truly amazing! Absolutely beautiful photographs of things most people ignore! Thanks for sharing these and also the short video on edible mushrooms and fungi.
Hi KoffeeKlatch Gals,
I agree. Mushrooms and fungi come in all shapes and sizes and even colors. Glad that you liked these pictures and thanks for the comment and votes. Appreciate it! :)))
Beautiful pictures of the mushrooms. It's amazing how many different types of mushrooms there are. Some of them are so beautiful and delicate looking. Rated up and awesome.
Hi Tony,
We picked morel mushrooms in Wisconsin when I was a child and they are delicious! Like you, I'm not taking any chances in picking wild mushrooms down here simply because I am no expert and if one eats the wrong kind it just might be the last thing one ever eats. I'll stick to those found in grocery stores. Thanks for reading and leaving a comment.
I've picked Morels in MN, Indiana, and NY. Love em! Some were bigger than my head.
Always leery of picking mushrooms in Texas. You hear stories every summer about people dying after eating wild ones here. Though it seems like the people are mostly from Thailand and Cambodia. Maybe there is an edible one over there that looks just like a poisonous one from TX.
Hello mannyrolando,
Obviously I agree with you. We had such an unusual one pop out of the ground 2 days ago but it is so cold and blustery right now in Houston that I just did not want to get pictures of it. Hoping more mushrooms or fungi of that type will appear again. When I say it is cold...we will probably get snow later today! Schools have been cancelled for tomorrow. Most unusual for this climate! Thanks for your comment.
Simply beautiful! I think that mushrooms are uniquely amazing and so much fun to photograph, they have such character! I love this hub!
Hi Becky,
Thanks for reading this hub about mushrooms and fungi. Glad to hear that it was also informative. The pictures from my cousin added to those taken by me make for some interesting contrasting colors, sizes and shapes. Thanks for the comment.
These are amazing photos of the different types of mushrooms. I have learned a great deal about the various types of mushrooms from your Hub. Thanks for an awesome read.
Hi ricky lee,
There are many books on the subject of using wild mushrooms safely if you wish to harvest and eat them. Research it well and good luck and happy eating!
i am a newcomer to wild edible mushrooms but i have studied plants for a long time . is their anyone in the harriman tn. area that could and would help teach me what i can and can't eat . e mail me at rlccc38@yahoo.com
Hi Photography7777,
Obviously I agree with you in that I think taking pictures of wild mushrooms and fungi make for very pretty pictures. Thanks for the comment. Looking forward to seeing more of your photos.
Beautiful photos of the mushrooms and great written article. I love photographing mushrooms too. I think mushrooms growing the wild are pretty.
Hi Micky,
I agree with you about not feeling skilled enough to know eatable mushrooms from the poisonous kind. For now I will satisfy myself with taking pictures of the wild mushrooms and fungi that I come across and buy the ones we eat in grocery stores. Thanks for the comment.
Very nice. I love to eat them but I wouldn't trust myself in the woods choosing them. Thank you Peggy!
Hello Tony,
Great hearing that you enjoyed these pictures of mushrooms and fungi. Every now and then new wild ones pop up in our yard and I always have a camera at the ready. I agree with you about my cousin taking great pictures. Thanks! Love and peace back you you.
I really enjoyed this read. I love fungi both to look at and to eat. Thanks for sharing this info and the beautiful photos. Both you and your coz are artists!
Love and peace
Tony
Hi Stephanie,
We did the same with puffballs for years...just played with them. Shortly before moving to Texas we found out about them being edible...and as you said, they are delicious. Thanks for commenting on this hub about mushrooms and fungi and glad that you liked the pictures.
While browsing hubs, this article caught my eye. It was no surprise to find you had written it as I seem to gravitate to your hubs! I do love the photographs and interesting facts. I had to laugh when I saw the section on puffballs as we used to play with them when we were kids, too. Only later did I discover that they were edible and delicious! Thanks for a nice hub.
Hello frogyfish,
Glad that you enjoyed this hub showing pictures of mushrooms and fungi. They are interesting and can be quite beautiful as well. Thanks for the comment.
Very enjoyable and interesting hub! Wow!
Hi billyaustindillon,
The pictures that my cousin sent to me were taken in a wooded setting in Illinois where he takes walks. The other ones are from our yard and garden. Tropical rainforest...feels like it today in Houston. We are getting lots of rain from the first hurricane of the season that went into Mexico.
So are all pink fleshed mushrooms (underneath) safe to eat? You should write a hub about it and insert pictures. Would be interesting to many of us!
I agree Peggy some of the shots from tropical rainforests are remarkable. On colelcting safe ones we had a rule - we knew the main ones and they had to have pink flesh underneath. Pretty simple that way.
Hi billyaustindillon,
Wish I knew more about collecting mushrooms safely. I love eating them and have to rely upon purchasing them in stores. Glad that you liked the images. I think that mushrooms and fungi in all their shapes and forms are quite beautiful.
Some beautiful images here Peggy. I used to enjoy mushroom collecting when Iw as growing up around our farm. Then eating them for breakfast - yummy!
Hi oscillationatend,
Stick to the baby portobellos...and I predict you will be just fine in the mushroom department. Ha!
Yes, I know they are poisonous..just the thought of eating it..*shudders* I dunno, some weird phobia. I have eaten a few varieties, even some without psilocybin. ;) I kid, I kid.
Maybe.
Hello again oscillationatend,
Have you never eaten any kind of mushroom? There are plenty edible kinds served in many cuisines of the world. As to picking wild ones, one really has to know what they are doing...or leave it to the experts...because many are poisonous.
Sometimes when I leave comments primarily about some issues with a hub, people wish to delete..so, always open for that. =)
Fungus are an interesting life form, I'm just not sure about their edible qualities. ;)
Hi oscillationatend,
Why the invitation to delete? Actually as you said, mushrooms and fungus do an essential role. I actually find them to be beautiful in many cases. Thanks for the visit.
These are all quite striking, even if it is fungus. *shivers*
By the way, take a look at this section:
"This, in fact, is the prime role that all mushrooms and fungi do. They continually recycle essantial nutrienps to the woil or theiz hosts.
&nbst;"
Feel free to delete this comment if/when you edit. =)
Hi again itakins,
Sorry to hear about both of your parents being gone from your life. I am fortunate to still have my mother with me although my dad died many years ago. Nice to hear that you had fun with the teasing of the "magic" mushrooms! :-)
Ha!-nicely put,similiar tastes and habits!They always kept in contact-my parents passed away-unfortunately,as for the others-well,whatever about their tastes-I hesitate to ask about their habits!
We did have fun teasing my mother about the 'magic mushrooms'!
Hello itakins,
That is quite a story about your parents and friends picking mushrooms and the coincidence of having babies almost the same time nine months later. Must have been good friends with similar tastes and habits. Hahaha! Have they all kept in contact with one another through the years?
Wonder if they still go wild mushroom picking together?
Wish I knew enough to do it safely. I love eating mushrooms!
Thanks for your interesting comment.
Peggy W-
Just brilliant-wonderful photos too.
A little story about mushrooms-when my parents were a young married couple,they headed off with two other couples one morning to collect mushrooms in an area near where we lived.They arrived home and feasted merrily on their findings-nine months later,each of the three couples produced a bouncing baby within twenty four hours of each other.True story-and according to my mother ,they were common or garden mushrooms!!
Hi frogyfish,
This was a fun hub to put together ESPECIALLY when my cousin Bill came up with all the pictures that he had taken on nature walks of mushrooms and fungi in the woods. Glad that you liked it. Thanks for commenting.
Very interesting pix and comments And I liked your poll too - it all is just right down my alley. Great fun to read and see. Thanks to you and to Bill too!
Hello ms mocha,
Wow! A trip to Italy to search out truffles! I hope that you are very successful, have fun, and please DO post any pictures of the truffles that you find. Do you get to keep what you find? All the details would make for a good hub! Thanks for the comment.
I adore these pictures and am heading over to Italy on Monday for a truffle hunt in the woods so will post any results- although my camera talents are nowhere near as good as these.
Hello Wealthmadehealthy,
The morels and puffballs are the only ones that I have ever eaten from the wild. One COULD make a study of it...but just make sure and be careful. It would be fun to be knowledgeable and able to go out into the woods and safely collect wild mushrooms for the dinner table. Good luck!
Let me know if you succeed. Thanks for your comment.
Having moved to MN and taking walks in the woods, I see mushrooms all the time now, and wondered why they were so abundant here....in my yard, I had a whole lot of those white ones in the pic growing and I looked at them....they looked just like the ones I buy in the store...I wonder if they are edible? Knowing that some are poisonous, I kind of look at them and leave them alone, but you have a good point here, I could be saving a lot at the grocery store if I just identified them,....silly me! Great hub!
Hello Chrisvernon,
I would really enjoy seeing your photos. Feel free to post a link in another comment if this is possible. Am sure others would enjoy seeing them as well...or direct us to where we can find them. I had never actually seen those translucent mushrooms anywhere else, but had no idea that they are rather rare. Thanks for the comment. Look forward to hearing back from you.
Those translucent mushrooms are quite rare. I have some beutiful pics of them if you would like to see them.
Hi jacobkuttyta,
Thanks for commenting on my wild mushroom and fungi hub with pictures. Glad you liked it.
Nice pictures, thanks for the hub.
Hi RedElf,
My cousin will be pleased that you noted his contribution to the pictures of the wild mushrooms. His photos really made this hub!
One of the youtube videos that I could have added had a guy telling us how to tell poisonous mushrooms from the good ones. He said that he always let his mother-in-law eat the ones being tested and if she lived then he knew that they were bad. LOL
Thanks for the comment.
Beautiful photos, Peggy. Your cousin is indeed a talented photographer - it seems to run in the family. Lots of great information, too. I knew that puffballs were edible, but was always too chicken to sample them until I could get someone to say "Yes, those are edible Puffballs."
Hi Ethel,
I can see the egg yolks in the center of the mushrooms you are referencing with regard to the "overcooked fried eggs" appearance. Clever! Wouldn't have thought of that. LOL
Thanks for the compliment as to the images (most of which I have to again thank my cousin Bill for his photos). And thanks for the comment.
Excellent images and words. Those translucent mushrooms look almost like lace. The ones after those though look like overcooked fried eggs, or is that just to me?
Hi shamelabboush,
As to having a "natural" house...hot and humid Houston can grow all sorts of things. Ha!
I agree with you that our world is filled with natural wonders, fungi and mushrooms being just some of them. But they are an integral part.
Thanks for the comment.
Greetings Kevin,
Happy to hear that you liked the pictures of the mushrooms and information as well. Thanks for the thumbs up and comment!
What a nice and rich world it is! The photos were taken carefully as well. Thansk for the info Peggy W. It seems you have a natural and nice house!
Oh..nice Photographs .you are done a very good research for this hub ,thumb up!!!
Hello loveroflife,
Happy that you liked these pictures of mushrooms, some of which I took and most of which my cousin took. I would agree with you that they are "beautiful and intricate products of nature." Nicely stated, and thanks for the comment.
Hi Pete,
Yes my cousin is VERY talented with a camera and also other things. Wish you could see the stained glass that he has created. And his gardening...just another area in which he is expert. I could go on...
As to the mushrooms, when doing the research for this hub, I also learned things about mushrooms and fungi that I had not known. Rather interesting!
Maybe you can work some of this new found knowledge into your next conversation. LOL
Thanks for your comment.
Both you and your cousin Bill have some very good photos of beautiful and intricate products of nature.
Your cousin Bill is very talented with a camera. I didn't think that there was a mushroon that you benefit another plant. Nice hub.

Hi Sweet Chococarrie,
Indeed, mushrooms are tasty and delicious. One just must be sure that they are not the poisonous types! My husband and I consume a good amount of mushrooms. Thanks for your comment.
