The Enchanted Fungi: A Mystical Journey Through the Whispering Woods [ENG/PL]

Dear Reader,
like always I was struggling with motivation to create another post. But I hope that today's story will make up for the waiting 馃摲
I would like you to present a really mystical story of fungi growing in our forests 馃尣馃尦

Drogi Widzu,
jak zwykle nie potrafi艂em zmotywowa膰 si臋 偶eby zebra膰 si艂y do napisania postu. Mam nadziej臋 偶e zdj臋cia wynagrodz膮 czekanie 馃摲
Chcia艂bym zaprezentowa膰 Tobie prawdziwie mityczn膮 opowie艣膰 o grzybach rosn膮cych w naszych lasach馃尣馃尦

Mycelium, the intricate and often overlooked network beneath our feet, is the silent architect of the forest floor. This vast underground web, composed of thread-like structures, weaves through the soil, connecting trees and plant this peculiar symbiosis.

Grzybnia, skomplikowana i cz臋sto niedoceniana sie膰 pod naszymi stopami, to cichy architekt le偶膮cy u podstaw lasu. Ta rozleg艂a podziemna sie膰, sk艂adaj膮ca si臋 z nitkowatych struktur, przeplata si臋 przez gleb臋, 艂膮cz膮c drzewa i ro艣liny w szczeg贸lnej symbiozie.

In Peter's Wohlleben book he describes mycelium as a plant internet where whole continents are connected. This underground network not only aids in the survival of individual trees but fosters a cooperative and interconnected community in the forest.

W ksi膮偶ce Petera Wohllebena opisuje on mycelium jako sie膰 internetowa ro艣lin, gdzie ca艂e kontynenty s膮 ze sob膮 po艂膮czone. Ta podziemna sie膰 nie tylko pomaga w prze偶yciu pojedynczych drzew, ale tak偶e sprzyja wsp贸艂pracy i wzajemnej pomocy ro艣linej spo艂eczno艣ci w lesie.

I'm no mycologist myself so I struggle with recognizing most species of mushroom's. Depicted above I cannot recognize so is probably not edible. Gills, colour, shape and size does not ring any bells in my head or my fianc茅. So best is to leave it be ;-)

Nie jestem zapalony mykologiem, nadal mam trudno艣ci rozpoznaniem wi臋kszo艣ci grzyb贸w. Przedstawiony wy偶ej grzyb prawdopodobnie nie jest jadalny. Niestety ani mnie, ani mojej narzeczonej ten kszta艂t,rozmiar,kolor czy blaszki nie kojarz膮 si臋 z niczym. Najlepiej zostawi膰 go w spokoju ;-)

One thing I know it is not the easiest thing to identify mushroom correctly. The one above is Amanita Muscaria馃崉. The most famous mushroom in the world. Here we see he was sun burnt, luckly the white spots have not being washed with the rain. Amanita Musciaria is widely regarded as poisonous mushroom. This is not medical/dietary advice but it is edible. Side effects afte consumption cause hallucinations, feeling that objects have a spirit. It might cause dissociation. I've read it online so all of this might be not be truth.

Jedn膮 rzecz膮, kt贸r膮 wiem, jest to, 偶e nie jest 艂atwo dok艂adnie zidentyfikowa膰 grzyba. Ten powy偶ej to Muchomor Czerwony馃崉, najbardziej znany grzyb na 艣wiecie. Tutaj widzimy, 偶e zosta艂 on spalony s艂o艅cem, na szcz臋艣cie bia艂e plamki nie zmy艂y si臋 jeszcze od deszczu. Muchomor czerwony jest powszechnie uwa偶any za truj膮cy grzyb. To nie jest porada medyczna, ale jest jadalny. Skutki uboczne po zjedzeniu powoduj膮 halucynacje, uczucie, 偶e martwe przedmioty maj膮 dusz臋. Mo偶e wywo艂ywa膰 uczucie oderwania od rzeczywisto艣ci. Przeczyta艂em to online, wi臋c wszystko to mo偶e by膰 nieprawd膮.

In fungi world many shrooms are trying to look the same - above we see Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca which is trying to look very alike to golden chanterelle (Cantharellus cibarius). Which the later one is very very tasty mushroom that starts appearing in forest around August, if the soil moisture enables mycelium growth. Oh after looking for Hygrophoropsis name I found out it is called false chanterelle. So the popular name describes it all :D

W 艣wiecie grzyb贸w, czasem owocniki grzyb贸w staraj膮 si臋 wygl膮da膰 podobnie. Na zdj臋ciu widzimy lis贸wk臋 pomara艅czow膮 kt贸ra pr贸buje udawa膰 kurki. A wiadomo - kurki to bardzo smaczne grzybki, kt贸re mo偶emy znale艣膰 ju偶 od sierpnia w naszych lasach. Je艣li warunki pogodowe pozwalaj膮 na to.

It is already 600 words post - but so many photos I've prepared...

Post ma ponad 600 s艂贸w - a przygotowa艂em jeszcze du偶o zdj臋膰...

This on the other hand it is real killer. Do not touch Amanita citrina. So if you can only remember one thing from this post is to remember Amanita citrina and don't have any contact with him.

Tutaj grzyb to prawdziwy zajb贸jca. Nawet nie dotykajcie muchomora cytrynowego. Je艣li zapami臋tacie tylko jedn膮 rzecz z tego postu to niech b臋dzie nauczka 偶eby unika膰 tego grzybiora.

This Photo I like particularly due this scene of mushroom surrounded by dead forest

Podoba si臋 szczeg贸lnie te zdj臋cie przez to 偶e grzybnia jest otoczona martwym lasem dooko艂a.

Mushrooms can grow in shit.

Grzybki potrafi膮 wyrosn膮膰 w g贸wnie.

All photos shoot on Canon 5DM2 with Sigma 70-300mm f4-5.6

Sorry but I cannot get over the flu/covid whatever, so this article was supported using Chat GPT for translations to polish. But at the end it translated like 3 years old so I had to rewrite all... it is 11:30 PM so I hope new people might enjoy ;-)

Hi All,
I would appreciate a feedback if you like fewer photos, less rambling?

0E-8 BEE

I think this amount of photos and rambling is good :)

Rok temu znalaz艂am ca艂y kr膮g muchomor贸w cytrynowych. Cudnie wygl膮da艂y!

Dzi臋ki za komentarz ;-)
A te muchomorki uwielbiaj膮 rosn膮膰 z stadach. Gdzie艣 mia艂em zdj臋cie takiej polanki :D
