A Circle of Spores Druid commission I’m very proud of! I’ve never done a kobold before so that took a lot of experimentation, which was worth it to get to shove ~20 species of mushrooms in. (They are not to scale or growing on the right substrates) species with an ‘x’ are toxic and species with a ‘☑️’ are edible.
I don’t do research on basidiomycetes (most mushrooms) except yeasts, but I do appreciate them from afar. I’m an ascomycete person.

Lichenomphalia sp. (probably ericetorum from the geographical location, cannot confirm).
South-eastern Vancouver island, BC, Canada. March 10, 2024.
Today we have a basidiolichen. Most lichens are a symbiosis between an ascomycete and algae and/or cyanobacteria, but there are a few lichenized basidiomycetes. In Lichenomphalia, the alga component is present at the surface of the soil as a dark green layer of tiny granules (circled in red below).

Working with basidiomycetes (mushrooms) is so weird! I’m smelling this chunk out of a bracket I’m trying to ID and trying to think if it smells like orangey fennel and realizing mid sniff that I’m probably inhaling tons of spores. Idk if I’m allergic/sensitive to spores. I don’t remember what fennel smells like. Ascomycetes/lichens aren’t as weird to ID, I don’t have to taste/smell/squish things really. I don’t want to taste! Do I have to taste it?

Unknown Agaricomycetes, 3mm-5mm tall, growing off decaying Sitka needles.
The slight aberrations on the stalks are from the long antenae and limbs of two small mites moving around the stalks while photographing the mushrooms.
