Mushrooms of Maine

Posted bybrantdyer6929Posted inUncategorized

I think Brant is a little tired of me photographing mushrooms. I keep saying I will only stop only for red mushrooms white polka dots, but that was before I knew mushrooms came in teal blue and purple. All were photographed in Maine on various trails. There are tons of CBD dispensaries here, but I think growing mushrooms in Maine would be much easier and a more unique market. I had fun reading about mushrooms of Maine, but will not bore you with the details. It is not actually boring but remarkably complex. I did not realize that there are many thousands of types of mushrooms. Below are just a few:

And you have to stop for 2 different colored mushrooms in one pic . I bet a mycologist could explain this.
I believe this a lobster mushroom, edible and said to taste like lobster. Don’t worry we did not try.
Yes, I put this in twice because how often to you see a purple mushroom?

P.S.–The caption for lobster mushroom goes with the pic 2 above, but you probably figured that out.

PPS–I tried to identify the yellow mushroom above and it the computer told me it was a “yellow mushroom”. I tell you this mushroom identification is a very complex subject matter!

  1. The mushroom world is so incredible! A photo collage would be beautiful. So complex and confusing about what’s sage and what’s not.
    It would be fun to take a class.
    Amazing

  3. Have no idea… I’m just taking pics. Some of those are definitely poisonous and a few I think are edible but not expert enough (by any means) to make that call.
