🫵🫵☠️‼️🚨🍄🤮 Always be careful when identifying and foraging for mushrooms 🤮🍄🚨‼️☠️🫵🫵

The mushroom is known for its unique growth pattern, often forming arcs or circles called fairy rings.

The fairy ring mushroom’s common name is derived from the folklore surrounding the circular patterns in which it grows. These patterns, known as fairy rings, have been associated with magical creatures and supernatural phenomena in various cultures throughout history. The mushrooms’ unique growth patterns and ability to regenerate after drying out have contributed to their mythical status.

There is a big problem with the common name of this mushroom. It is “the” fairy ring mushroom but not the only mushroom that grows in fairy rings. Quite a few other mushrooms form fairy rings, actually, including the meadow mushroom and the false parasol.

The best thing to do is, once identifying them with certainty, is to harvest them for the table and thank Mother Nature for the bounty!

Besides being a fruitless effort (they’ll always come back), some people say destroying a fairy ring is unlucky. It is believed that fairy ring mushrooms bring good luck and that they are indication that there is a fairy village underground. Another folkloric story says you should never step into a fairy ring, as it will make you invisible or you’ll become trapped there forever.

Caught this on my morning canoe.

I built myself a blind. This was the first bird to stop in.

Why beetles? You'll need to read to beelieve it.
