Here I would love to share with you our travels and adventures as international mushroom consultants. MEMOIRS about husband Pieter Vedder, who was a SCIENTIFIC PIONEER in Commercial Mushroom Cultivation Education. His practical handbook is in 9 languages and is called the MUSHROOM BIBLE: https://mariettesbacktobasics.blogspot.com/2020/08/modern-mushroom-growing-2020-harvesting.html

Marasmius sp.

 When working in our wood garden, husband Pieter found in the shade on a piece of old wood these lovely Marasmius sp.


Just thought to share these with you, as blogger friend Kim showed them in her lovely blog not too long ago: "Parasols" ←click on link for viewing her excellent photo.
It no doubt is a Marasmius sp. and it looks very much like the Marasmius ramealis ←click on link for images.

  2. Hello Mariette, In most gardens it is necessary to remove most refuse very quickly for reasons of sanitation. That is one reason why I like walking in the woods and meadows, where once can see all the rhythms of nature, including many fascinating plants and fungi that would not grow (or be appropriate) in a garden.

    1. Dearest Jim,
      Mushrooms decay all the more difficult degradable parts, like wood and such that humans and animals cannot digest. They are at the very end of the food cycle in nature. Yes, in the woods we can usually observe nature's full cycle and enjoy it. On our lawn mushrooms do show up, digesting the grass clippings in combination with rain.
      Hugs,
      Mariette

  3. They are beautiful. Obviously not edible ... I guess. We sometimes get mushrooms (toadstools) growing in the lawn. We don't pick them up and they disappear when we next mow the lawn.

    We only eat the mushrooms from the supermarket. Safer!!!

    God bless.

    1. Dearest Victor,
      They are beautiful and also edible but way too small for yielding a meal.
      And as Pieter's standard answer is: 'You can eat them all, but some of them only once! So you better be careful for collecting them in the wild'
      At the moment we too have thousands of these little Marasmius sp in our lawn and we don't toch them either. Best to buy mushrooms at the grocery store!
      Hugs,
      Mariette

    2. Hello again, Morels are perhaps the most unmistakable edible mushroom. In Ohio, you often see them in the early spring, but since I am not a mushroom fancier, I just leave them alone. I get more enjoyment out of them just seeing them in nature, but even if you purchase morels they were probably gathered from the wild. --Jim

    3. Dearest Jim,
      We are exactly like you and don't eat them. Only our very knowledgeable friend Olga, from Moskow knows what she is doing and she prepared delicious food with them.
      Morels indeed will be mainly gathered in the wild as it is very complicated to commercially grow them.
      Hugs,
      Mariette

      You're welcome and I did this after you published that incredible photo. They are also called Twig parachutes, somewhere down that link with all its photos.

  6. So fragile and delicate! They look more like flowers than mushrooms.

      They look fragile yet they are able to digest wood, something no human nor animal can do.
