An Orange-Capped Mushroom on Mt. Lemmon — Image by kenne
Under a quilt of needles,
it presses upward—
a small insistence
against the coming white silence.

Tall mushrooms rise up—
moss blankets the fallen log,
a forest whispers.

We all have forests in our minds.
Forests unexplored, unending.
Each one of us gets lost in the
forest, every night, alone.

One doesn’t stop framing.
It doesn’t turn off and turn on.
It’s on all the time.”

Boletus porosporus Mushroom, Mt. Lemmon, Santa Catalina Mountains (08/29/14) — Image by kenne
With very few exceptions, boletes are mycorrhizal partners with trees, and can be found in forest
and urban ecosystems across our continent, wherever ectomycorrhizal trees are present.
Some boletes are very picky about their mycorrhizal partners, while others seem to be able
to associate only with groups of related trees—and still others may be able to associate with very diverse trees.

Fly Amanita Mushroom — Image by kenne
Fly amanita is the most iconic toadstool species, with a white-gilled,
white-spotted, usually red mushroom, and is one of the most recognizable
and widely encountered in popular culture.
As the mushroom matures, the can becomes flatter
and recognizable in Victorian literature, including
Lewis Carroll’s “Alice in Wonderland.”

Desert Mushroom (Podaxis pistillaris) 2 comments
Desert Mushroom (Podaxis pistillaris) — Image by kenne
This is probably the most common mushroom in the Sonoran Desert. It is found in desert environments worldwide. The fruiting body appears above the ground upon a woody stem within a few days after a soaking rain usually during the cooler seasons. It is fibrous and woody and the cap remains closed down around the gills and spores, presumably to protect them from extreme dry periods. (arizonensis.org)
