Here are a selection of the mushrooms I have already sold. Each one is unique and I hope you too can appreciate the beauty and variety of each species.

	Agaricus silvicola A very large mushroom which is very common with its dark gills and creamy white cap.  It usually has a very bulbous ring which I find very unusual and quite lovely.    They can grow to up to 12 cm across and are found in wooded areas.   Edible.
	Amanita rubescens The Blusher – This is called The Blusher because of its reddish cottony patches on the cap.  They can grow to 15 cm across and the stalk have a bulbous base staining reddish.  Poisonous.
	Chanterelle We all know the Chanterelle for its flavour which is used widely in cooking.
	Cortinarius corrugatus A lovely tall mushroom with flared up cap upon aging revealing its gills of rust to golden brown.  This mushroom fruits under hardwoods.
	Cystoderma amianthinum Yellowish to orange yellow and the inner veil attaches to the cap rim giving it a lacy edged appearance.   This mushrooms fruits in wooded areas and is fairly common.
	The Destroying Angel This very deadly but striking mushroom is a very common sight with its white ring is a very tall completely white mushroom considered one of the most harmful also and is one of the deadliest mushrooms.
	Horn of Plenty Thin fleshed and quite lovely to eat, this mushroom fruits in wooded areas.
	Hygrocybe When I found this mushroom I had a hard time identifying it. I couldn’t get over the striking red cap which was like a red velvet fading at the edges of the cap to orange yellow.    Amazing!
	Inocybe geophylla This mushroom’s color can range from pink to deep purple and anything inbetween.  Poisonous but lovely to look at this species is found in wooded areas.
	Lacquered polypore or Bracket Fungus We all know the bracket fungi as they are widespread and quite common.  They fruit on dead or rotting logs.
	Lactarius chrysorheus Smooth and creamy coloured to rusty with a knobby appearance this species fruits under conifers and is poisonous.
	Megacollybia platyphylla Thin fleshed and almost lacey in appearance they become blackish brown with age.  Fruits on logs or stumps and has an unpleasant taste.  Don’t try it – however it is rather beautiful.
	Pholiota granulosa The caps are 1 to 3 cm across and orange to orange yellow with a veil around the rim of the cap sometimes with little spots around the rim as well.   This species fruits on stumps or rotting wood of hardwood.
	Hydnum repandum Hedgehog Mushroom – spongy tooth-like spines under the cap with a knobby convex to uneven cap, this mushroom is buff to orange-tan and is found in wooded areas.
	Blood-red Cort As in the name, the colour of this mushroom is blood-red and is not commonly found.
	Russula paludosa This mushroom was all over the place in our wooded areas around the house and I had a hard time finding one that wasn’t eaten by some rabbit or mouse.   Obviously edible, this beauty with its rosy glow made our woods pop of redish pink caps.  This mushroom can grow to up to 15 cm across and is quite a large beauty.
	Shitake Mushroom The Shitake Mushroom is a well loved edible mushroom with immense flavour, brown & tan and found in most local grocery stores – this mushroom was one I made on request from Angela for her Mother.
	Stropharia thrausta A most striking orange to deep orange mushroom with a lighter rim on the cap and distinctive spots.  Stalkes and gills are purple lavendar which makes this mushroom very pleasing to the eye.
	Velvet Stalk Found usually in clusters, slimy when wet and are rusty brown with a velvety stalk.  Edible.
	Waxcap Commonly found and waxy looking, the most common we see here are pure bright yellow.
	White Pine Bolete This beauty fruits only under white pine trees and is edible. The White Pine Bolete, latin name:  Suillus americannus is convex to flat, deep yellow with rusty scales.   They can get quite large – up to 10 cm across and 7 cm tall.
	Zonate Tooth Also known as Hydnellum concrescens they are cup-like with radial ridges and are very commonly found.
	The Banded Cort Banded Cort – Latin Name: Cortinarius armillatus – This Banded Cort was all over the forest floor last fall and I had never seen one before. I find it strange that one year there will be plenty of one species that you may not see again for some years to come. The Banded Cort has quite a broad base with rusty brown rings, the cap is brown and can grow up to 12 cm across.
	Stropharia thrausta Stropharia thrausta
