Mushrooms of Georgia 🍄 25 Wild Mushrooms from Common to Rare

From jack-o'-lanterns that glow in the dark to one of the deadliest mushrooms in the world, here are 25 mushrooms you can find hiking in Georgia! For each one you'll see its common and scientific name, where it grows (North Georgia mountains, the Piedmont, or the Coastal Plain), the months it fruits, where to look, and how to tell it apart from its look-alikes. You'll meet a stinkhorn from Australia that pops up in Atlanta mulch, a bolete that sweats amber droplets and bruises blue, a puffball wrapped in jelly like a cherry in gelatin, and the destroying angel we found ourselves on a hike in North Georgia. ⚠️ Never eat a wild mushroom unless an expert has identified it in person. 0:00 Mushrooms of Georgia 0:20 Turkey Tail 0:45 Ringless Honey Mushroom 1:10 Golden Reishi 1:35 Peach-Colored Fly Agaric 2:00 Green-Spored Parasol 2:33 Pear-Shaped Puffball 2:58 Shaggy-Stalked Bolete 3:23 Jack-o'-Lantern 3:48 Crown-Tipped Coral 4:13 Witch's Butter 4:38 Column Stinkhorn 5:07 White-Pored Chicken of the Woods 5:32 Frost's Bolete 5:57 Eastern Cauliflower Mushroom 6:22 Anemone Stinkhorn 6:47 Black Trumpet 7:12 Jackson's Slender Caesar 7:37 Stalked Puffball-in-Aspic 8:02 Lobster Mushroom 8:32 Green Elf Cup 8:57 Destroying Angel 9:30 Goblet Waxcap 9:55 Graceful Bolete 10:20 Giant Puffball 10:45 Golden Scruffy Collybia 11:10 Thanks for exploring! 🎃 Jack-o'-lantern field guide page: https://trailsidefieldguide.com/mushr... ☠️ Destroying angel field guide page: https://trailsidefieldguide.com/mushr... 🌐 More from Georgia: https://trailsidefieldguide.com/georg...
