Mushrooms Just Sprang Up

Mrsroadrunner Photography | Mushrooms Just Sprang Up





When it comes to Mushrooms we have a few that appear out of no where here and there in the garden. 2014 was a GREAT year! Why?

Mushroom compost is one of my soils I use along with several others I mix up. Great for the flowers so it seams! We also went and purchased a shredder earlier in 2014 , that is what you see there is the materials we shredded up to add into the garden.

Funny story about that shredder, Guy had his first surgery on his hand and the doctor just took off his cast, and we had to go to the hand therapist to get a brace put on. Guy has gone through several of these braces and the shredder is why one of them got destroyed. These hand braces , one type goes over his work gloves. Well, he was feeding the shredder with his good hand and we do not know how his brace not only came off, but went into the shredder with the rose thorns!





These beauties are one species of Mushroom we had pop out of the ground! Again great for the soil and since Mushrooms feed off dead organic matter...... this is a perfect place for them!





Like most things I enjoy photographing Mushrooms, they all have their own character. Each and everyone of them!





This last one you can see at the bottom of the photograph is has a slightly different color.... well this was shot through the fence. I just blurred out the fence within the lens.

I have many more photographs of different mushrooms we had in 2014 and time permitting I will show you the photographs I got! Thank you for coming by!

Oregon is well known for our mushrooms.
We have the rich soil of the volcano of the Cascade Mountains, mixed with the rich soil of that which the trees leave behind during our wildfires. One thing to be certain of is, the Pacific Northwest has been and always has been known for our mushrooms.


The Inky Cap is known as such for the black "ink" type substance that drips from the mushroom at curtain times of the mushrooms life. I of course had to touch this.... and it does not come off all that easily!!



I personally like finding them in clusters growing here and there in our mountains here in Oregon. Being mindful of course of those who make a living off of picking such things as mushrooms. Staying out of these areas where their signs are typically posted when they are at work. Mushrooms are a thriving business in our part of the world. However I really can not say I know the laws of the inky cap..... I hear they are edible at curtain times of their life. Though I enjoy photographing them and that is it.


The clusters can consist of many mushrooms all bundles together, or just one whose spores traveled somehow to a spot to establish itself.


One rule of thumb I grew up with here in Oregon is, dont eat mushrooms you do not know exactly what they are. If you are on of these folks who want to go mushroom picking, keep in mind their are rules set forth now. As I said mushrooms are big business in states like ours.
Thank you for coming by my post!

Life Gives You Lemons ~ Grow Mushrooms!!

One Little Mushroom

One Little Mushroom. I think it is cool how and where mushroom grow. I am not good about identifying mushrooms so I leave them alone. Another one was partially eaten by something, so I assume this kind is edible??
