Now the mushrooms are appearing, some several months later than usual and drained of their usual color. For example, the gills of the yellow-topped Stropharia amigua (the two darkest mushrooms in this medley) sport a mere blush of their usual deep lavender-grey color this year. And some of these taupe gilled-mushrooms (I don’t recall the name ATM) are usually a deeper tan/brown. So interesting! I have a decade of photographic islands medley documentation to refer back on now - September was my 10 year “islandaversary” - and this is the latest start and least prolific mushroom season I’ve experienced since my arrival out here.
