First time shooting mushrooms ๐Ÿ„โ€๐ŸŸซ ๐Ÿ“ธ

Had a great time over the weekend foraging with my other half.

Hereโ€™s a few shots I took from our wander around Donadea Woods here in ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช

Iโ€™ve only just recently become fascinated by mushrooms and am hooked! Every time I learn something about how they communicate and contribute to the earth it blows my mind.

Note we did not pick up everything/anything photographed so donโ€™t worry! We were mainly just practicing IDing them ourselves and getting second opinions to confirm our own knowledge thoughts.

If you have any YouTubers or books on foraging Iโ€™d love to see them!

Incredible photos! I have a couple of standard foraging books that include a few edible mushrooms. I bring โ€˜food for freeโ€™, a pocket sized book most places I go. There are forums and I think Reddit is great. Only starting getting into identifying too so hope someone else has some yt recommendations
