How about a mushroom?


Recommended Posts

<p>Gordon, looks a bit more like H. corroloides with all the branching and shorter spines. No matter, still a nice find.</p>

<p>OK, you wanna eat? Start with a few large, as in 10 lbs apiece, conks of fresh Grifola frondosa. Take one home and divide into pieces. Do watch for newts and salamanders that may be hiding within. Put 1/2 of the booty in a dehydrater for mid winter. Bread the rest with flour, egg, then panko breadcrumbs. Deep fry till golden brown. Serve immediately with spicy rich peanut sauce.</p><div>00eDoz-566300484.thumb.JPG.541ed8904e634291f631b43845844e67.JPG</div>

Thanks, <strong>Gordon</strong>. A friend liked the mushroom's "dreadlocks."<br/><br />Your picture's gorgeous! How big of an area do the mushrooms take up? I'd love to see mushrooms that look like that!<br /><br/>

<strong>Laura</strong>, I await a dinner invitation.  --Sally

<p>Edwin, I didn't post a macro image, but didn't realize it till this morning. Sorry 'bout that. I forgot where I was. Your bioluminescence image is wonderful. Now that we have the 6D I'm hoping to get better results with this sort of photography.</p>

<p>So, here is an image of the <em>Grifola</em> that is more appropriate to the forum.</p><div>00eDqf-566303584.thumb.JPG.892db7ba19b0c34a405050813ca64ed4.JPG</div>

<p>My response to Sally and Laura is now gone despite having uploaded originally? Thanks PN.<br /> To recap,<br>

Thanks Sally the mushroom in my original post was about the size of my fist. I have seen these get much larger than that.</p>

<p>Laura I did know that this was not <em>Hericinium</em> erinaceus but pulled the wrong name out of my head by mistake. Thanks for catching my mistake. I got the common name right as americanum is referred to as Bear's Tooth and erinaceus has the common name of Lion's Mane. Not that common names are really of much use. I've never found erinaceus in my area although it should be around. I believe that your suggestion of coralloides is also incorrect as I am pretty sure my first post was <em>Hericium americanum</em>.<br /> My second posting is what I believe to be coralloides.</p>

<p>Gordon,<br>

Edwin's photos are really, really good. I've tried this with my XSi and got nothin' but noise. The exposures were in the 20 minute range. I was also using the same mushroom, but they had been picked hours earlier than the photo.</p>

<p>I only see H. erinaceus infrequently, and branched species even less. As to the name, well check this out from our good friend Michael Kuo:<br>

"Speaking of countries, if this mushroom were a country between Greece and Italy, and if international diplomats had recently named it, rather than mycologists, it might be called "FYROHC"--the Former Yugoslav Republic of <em>Hericium coralloides</em>. Like FYROM (the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia) or the "artist formerly known as 'Prince,'" <em>Hericium americanum</em> has a former name that is more recognized and popular than its new name; it used to be "<em>Hericium coralloides</em>." Unlike FYROM or Prince, however, the folks in charge have gone and used the former name for something completely different: the short-spined, branched <a href="http://www.mushroomexpert.com/hericium_coralloides.html"><em>Hericium coralloides</em></a> (which, in turn, was formerly known as <em>"Hericium ramosum"</em>). Whew!"<br>

<br>

It's hard to keep up sometimes. Let's do our best to keep one another on our toes. ;-))</p>

<p>Edwin, did you take your images in the field at night with growing mushrooms, or later with picked material? </p>
