[bℓσωηG]

Hi everyone ,

I have been visiting in Estonia for the last month or more and wow ! ...So many mushrooms here !

I wanted to share some pics with y'all and get some ID's as well if you want to show your skills ...

So many Mycorrhizal species ,awesome old Spruce ,Pine, Oak and Birch forests .. it really is a mushroom paradise.

It's looking like a bumper season this year apparently ,it's really just begun but already I have been eating many chanterelles ,Boletus and Lactarius... Ooh and my new favourite the Gypsy mushroom Cortinarius caperata !

Walking in a meadow 20km from the capital Tallin I have seen a wild deer up close , and around this area I found some of these.

I'm fairly sure thesey are Panaeolus cinctulus , thoughts ? The spore print is black... 

 

Haven't spotted any Libs yet still looking.

Panaeolus subbalteatus ?

Oh god I just realised after going through my photos that I may have already found Psilocybe semilanceata after all , but at the time I thought the cap wasn't conical enough so didn't study anything under a microscope , ill have to go back to where it was and check if they really were.

Can anyone confirm from this pic ?

The transparent tip on the cap has me now second guessing my initial 'unknown brown mushroom' theory.

 

Link to Good PDF Book '' Magic Nordic Liberty Cap Hunter's Field Guide '' that ive been studying as so I can take photos of them.

Haha a true fisherman!

As you wish ... This Pike was caught on a live carp set on a treble hook with a wire trace as they have some heavy duty teeth .

A tonne of fun these things , wolves of the sea !

 

 

There some great waterways here , but it can be difficult to find a fishing spot that is free of reeds .

Caught some Redfin that weren't much bigger than the lure I was using aggressive lil buggers.

I've always wanted to hook into one of those....thanks mate

Just cooked up a bunch of Lycoperdon perlatum ...holy shit first time ever I have eaten a puffball ...very tasty !

Going out again soon to get some more tasted like fried eggs, only sweeter.

 

1. The advice of an expert always matters. As a newbie, it's very important to be accompanied by an expert in mushrooms. So you can see how to recognize poisonous and edible mushrooms and what to look for when picking them up.
2. Show a real interest in poisonous species. Learn them first, pay attention to their characteristics and differences with other closely related species.
3. Never pick up mushrooms that you aren't sure about (100%). 'I'm not sure about this species, seems to be edible, should I try it?' -nobody wants to die for a meal, so be careful with such an attitude
4. Stick on at least 10 edible mushroom species. Be sure to learn and know those 10 species. Focus rather on those species without or with  few poisonous look-alikes. If you choose the latter, be sure to learn the differences between them.
5. Pick up mushrooms from locations that you know. Good mushroom hunting areas are those that you used them before.
