Dyer's polypore -Phaeolus schweinitzii

Wondering if anyone has used dyers polypore for dye before? I've heard it can create a great golden color. I'm considering trying regardless, looking for any extraction tips!? I have a small amount on a stump outside of my place

Id request?

St Paul,MN. Unfortunately I found him in rough shape, I'm sure he was lovely before he got plucked. False parasol? Shaggy parasol? Totally different?

Flowers and Mushrooms

Any recommendations on books for edible plants/mushrooms. I have some ID knowledge but I'm really looking to tighten those skills and use them more. I live in the North American in the Midwest - specifically Minnesota. Also eventually want to get back into tree idying as well. Any help is welcomed 🫡🥰

Love the varying stages of mica caps as they 'melt' onto each other

Basically just that. It was very nice out so we took the toddler to the park. Realized at the park we needed some steak sauce and mustard, we happen to be nearby our neighborhood co-op, so why not grab those two things and head home. We got mustard and steak sauce ....somehow how we ended up with cheese and meat and salmon and a bunch of other stuff and oh boy. Anyways here was our stinky dinner. It was so good. Thankful for a husband that likes stinky food as much as me. The toddler didn't want any 🤷‍♀️
