MUSHROOMS

Mushrooms and fungus growing in Maine in the wild, some poisonous, some edible, colorful, interesting, singles and colonies. If you see a mushroom in this gallery that you are able to identify, or that I have mis-identified, please let me know. And remember: if you aren't sure of the mushroom you are eating, be sure to save a piece for the pathologist.
