For the mycophiles: a selection of Appalachia’s early spring fungi. Forgive me if I get any of these wrong, because I’m still learning how to identify all the wonderful fungi that grow in the woods around here. Incidentally, my go-to mycological bible is Mushrooms of West Virginia and the Central Appalachians, by William Roody. Maybe someday I can absorb just a fraction of the knowledge contained in this wonderful guide and become something more than a stumbling amateur.

From top: turkey tail (Trametes versicolor); a delicate Mycena, either nitrous bonnet (M. leptocephala) or stump fairy bonnet (M. alcalina); gilled polypore (Trametes betulina); witches’ butter (Tremella mesenterica), a lovely and unusual jelly fungus; and pinwheel mushroom (Marasmius rotula).
