The fungal diversity in the #AppalachianMountains is some of the most incredible in all the world. That’s mainly because #macrofungi, like these #mushrooms here, exist in a #symbiotic relationship with specific tree species. The Appalachian forests have over 158 different tree species that all form relationships with fungi. The fungus amoungus help trees acquire minerals, water and nutrients from the soil that trees can’t normally access and the tree “pays” the fungus back by feeding it sugar. Many different fungi can associate with a single tree species and there are new fungi or fungal relationships being discovered in our #DeciduousForests every year. #Fungi exist in all shapes, colors and sizes that have evolved to meet the demands of their landscape, many of which we still don’t understand. Here is a collection of some of the fungi I commonly encounter while surveying the Appalachian forests as a professional #naturalist. If you are thinking of visiting the Appalachian Mountains specifically for mushroom hunting, I suggest you visit in July to August in years with a lot of rainfall. Species included in this post are: Amanita polypyramis Cantharellus cinnabarinus Geastrum saccatum Cortinarius violaceus Baorangia bicolor
