Fungi

After retirement we started foraging and documenting fungi and mushrooms, and we share photos of some of our favorites here. 

DISCLAIMER: You should assume that ALL mushrooms are poisonous or toxic until you are 100% sure that they are not. We purposefully do not disclose here which mushrooms we found to be edible and we are not responsible for any foraging or consuming of mushrooms and fungi that our readers might undertake. 

There are many books, online groups, and resources that are helpful for people interested in mushrooms. Three printed resources we have found particularly useful in our mushroom and fungi foraging are: 

• Mushrooms: A Folding Pocket Guide to Familiar North American Species

• Mushrooms of the Northeast

• Mushrooms Demystified
