FOTD #085 : pink waxcap! (porpolomopsis calyptriformis)

the pink waxcap is a species of agaric fungus in the family hygrophoraceae. interestingly, this fungus is neither mycorrhizal nor saprophytic, but may be associated with mosses. it is found in several european countries :-)

the big question : can i bite it?? technically yes, but these mushrooms are so scarce & are threatened, so i don't recommend picking them for food.

p. calyptriformis description :

"basidiocarps are agaricoid, up to 125mm (5 in) tall, the cap narrowly conical at first, retaining an acute umbo when expanded, up to 75mm (3 in) across, often splitting when expanded, the margins turning upwards. the cap surface is smooth to fibrillose, slightly shiny or greasy, pale rose-pink to lilac-pink (rarely white). the lamellae (gills) are widely spaced, waxy, cap-coloured or whiter. the stipe (stem) is smooth, white to pale cap-coloured, lacking a ring."

Happy Fungi Friday!

While it may look pretty in pink, the sickener (Russula emetica), also known as the emetic russula or vomiting russula, should be only enjoyed visually.

Pink Flamingo Oyster Mushroom

Hadley Wood, London, UK, August 2022

Silky rosegill (Volvariella bombycina) 

These gorgeous mushrooms are relatively rare in the UK, and a striking find, what with their huge, silkily furry caps, and pinkish gills that deepen with age, as you can see in the almost rusty gills here.

These are lovely edibles, though care should be taken not to confuse them with the deadly amanitas, which are also white, and emerge from a sack that persists at the base of their stem. As silky rosegills grow only on wood, however, whereas amanitas grow from soil, they can easily be distinguished. I chose not to take and cook these as I already had a glut of chicken of the woods for dinner, and am leaving home tomorrow (to get married!!) and so have no way of keeping them for a future date.

Hello I'm ColeyShroom and joined with my lil' mascot Shroomie!

My first post to tumblr as a Vtuber!♡

I used to be obsessed with tumblr. I loved it so much and it kind of drifted away from me. I'm super excited to hopefully come back!

So nice to see how it's changed, I'm excited to start sharing again!
