TOADSTOOLS & BIRDS
My voice / Becomes the wind / Mushroom-hunting . . . . . . . . . 19th century haiku by Japanese poet MASAOKA SHIKI [1867-1902]
AGARIC L - Produce spores on the underside of their caps from gills, whereas Boletes, that can be similar in look, produce spores from sponge-like tubes
EXPLANATION FOR COMMON TOADSTOOL AND FUNGI NAME
Lyophyllum decastes [Fried Chicken Mushroom] : Don't even ask because I haven't a clue what this has to do with fried chicken. Must have been trying the magic mushrooms when they named this
Lactarius rufous : Rufous means red. The camera doesn't do brick red or maybe it was forest lighting. Bit iffy on lilac as well for that matter
Lepiota cristata [Stinking Dapperling] : A Dapperling means dwarf - makes sense as many lepiota are quite large
