death & mushrooms @deathandmushrooms - Tumblr Blog

'Ello!

Welcome to the detritus of my brain: mushrooms, tripping in search of mushrooms, getting attacked by fauna in pursuit of mushrooms, cooking mushrooms, the thrills of the necrobiome, and whatever else I'm lucky enough to find while looking down... because I spend a lot of time wandering about and staring at dirt like a tall hobbit with scoliosis.

I'm new to the mysteries of mycology, so take all of my identifications with a pound of salt.

I tag species names, and also:

#eye on the forest floor (photos of mushrooms and other interesting forest things in the wild)

#cooking the forest floor

#eating the forest floor

#drawing the forest floor /#painting the forest floor

#studying the forest floor (mycological notes, spore printing, etc

#Cemetery Sunday (shots of cemeteries, sometimes with bonus fungi!)

Death

#CW alcohol

Fair warning... I pun sporadically.

All photos and text commentary I post are my own unless otherwise stated. Please do not repost.

you are my new favourite tumblr person

a cruel question: what's your favourite fungus? or your top 2.2 to 3.8 million favourite species...

Aw, thanks, fellow tumblr person!

A cruel question indeed. I appreciate the alternative option for listening several million. 😆 But I think I can manage with three. No, four. No, two. I'll do two.

1. Black Trumpet (Craterellus fallax)

The first edible mushroom I ever foraged with a delightful goth aesthetic. It's pretty hard to mistake this mushroom for something else, but I was still terrified to eat it. First time round, anyway.

2. Old Man of the Woods (Strobilomyces strobilaceus... Or "floccopus" depending on who you ask, I think both are great)

Such a friendly shroom, and I'm always so happy to see it. And also boop it because it is very soft and boopable. It's like if a Newfoundland were a mushroom.

Thanks for asking!

hello!! I just found your blog and I think it’s hella cool, and I just wanted to ask - do you watch BlackForager? I love her channel and she does a lot of cooking with mushrooms

Thank you so much!!

I haven't heard of BlackForager. I assume that's a Tiktok? (which I do not have 😬) Maybe I'll steal a Tiktok-using cousin's phone and look it up over the holidays 😂

afaik she’s mostly on tiktok (I’m not sure as I don’t have it either), but she also has a youtube channel!

I'm Alexis! I forage out in the VERY untamed wilderness of scenic Ohio. Stick around and find out how we're all surrounded by amazing plants
