how do you like these fungi?

I think they mostly live on dead wood.

Those are bracket fungi, polypore.
"Polypores and their relatives corticioid fungi are the most important agents of wood decay."

I like how this looks!

Cool Nidhogg. I like the bright orange colour of the other:)

Laetiporus sulphureus was something I've never heard of. I don't think it grows over here. There are several of those kinds of mushrooms growing on trees in the forests, but I've never heard of any that would be edible:

Interesting. You learn something new every day.

We have what is known as "fnöskticka" (tinder fungus), but last I heard is was pretty rare. Apparently it doesn't like modern forestry.

I was exercising outside and met this fungus fellow.
Am pretty sure it's Boletaceae, maybe Leccinum holopus or Leccinum scabrum but I don't know the edible fungi as well as the toxic ones.

Qruqs, We don't either have Laetiporus sulphureus here in Finland. I just liked how it looks.
The flora and fauna of Sweden and Finland are almost identical.

Yes, that's true, very similar.

I think you're on to something:

I've dined on similar specimens several times, and I'm still here.

In Sweden there is only one poisonous boletus variety, "djävulssopp" (Satan's boletus) but it only grows on the island of Gotland and a few more places: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubroboletus_satanas

Why is a thread with images of fungi named Erisian? I came across it by accident when looking for other things and I sense a troll here on GC!

I know you are not a troll sallyanne, I was just joking. Yes, I have mycophobia. I am fine with champinion and portabellos because I have eaten those since childhood but since my phobia kicked in, I cannot look at other fungi or mold.

I think Psilocybin would change your mind, Erisian. lolololol

It was that that caused my phobia. I had a really bad night on it.

(sorry Erisian this sentence was so funny )

Heard that there's nothing worse than a bad trip. Never did this myself. Thought about doing the Ayahuasca thing a few years back, but figure best to leave such things to others. lol
