I went for an autumn hike up the mountain behind my house on Vancouver Island yesterday and came across tons of different kinds of mushrooms and fungi. I posted the following photos of Vancouver Island Mushrooms to Instagram and they’ve been getting a lot of attention (yay!) I’ve even had one person request prints of a couple of the images, so I thought I would share them here as well.
Do you know which mushrooms are which?
I have no idea what kind of mushrooms these are or whether they are edible or not, but they are beautiful and they have me imagining a little gnome community hiding out in the woods behind my house and that makes me smile. If you know what they are, I’d love for you to share your insight in the comments below?
Have a look and don’t forget to follow me on Instagram for more great daily Vancouver Island and travel photos!
I found lots of autumn shroomies on my hike with @Roxidoo today. #mushrooms #shrooms #autumn #fall #forest A photo posted by Mariska Richters (@mariskar) on

[Tweet “Check out these #mushroom pics! Do you know what they are? Are they edible? #fungi #food”]These are the ones that go “poof” when they dry out and you step on them, sending a tiny cloud of spores into the air. #ilovenature #mushrooms #shrooms #fungi #vancouverisland #cowichan A photo posted by Mariska Richters (@mariskar) on
Beste Mariska, ik ben op zoek naar het e-mail adres van pim en evelien. Ik heb de indruk dat prf niet meer actueel is. Zou jij mij het nieuwe adres kunnen doorsturen. Ik wil ze weer een update sturen van het afgelopen jaar. Bij voorbaat dank. Hartelijke groeten, Sonja en Marcel
Hi Marcel, I have sent their contact info to your email. 🙂
