Red Fairy Home mushie #1
I began noticing that there were many different and interesting mushrooms coming up on the farm in November, so the girls and I went on a walk and photographed all of the ones we could find. I do not know what types of mushrooms they are, so if you do, let me know! The mushroom pictured above was one of my favorites. It was an orange-red with white dots on it, straight out of a fairy storybook, hence its name. There is another even redder version of the same mushroom taken below. I made up my own names for them and numbered them.

Some of those shrooms are pretty poisonous. I'm not a fan of unnecessary fungophobia, but the red fairy home and the yellow fairy home are both varieties of Amanita muscaria, which is a hallucinogenic/poisonous mushroom.
icicle mushroom is a white-crested coral, or a similar species.
pine cone umbrella mushie #7 is a slippery jack (Suillus sp.).
nice creative names. I look forward to more.
Cool--- thanks for the info! The Fairy Home mushrooms do look poisonous don't they? Good to know, thanks for the real names.
