Amanita muscaria (Fly agaric) is a highly toxic mushroom  that can have a red or yellow cap. It is called fly agaric because some people put sliced mushrooms in a small bowl of milk to attract and kill flies.

In Siberia some people

Drank tea made from the mushroom because of its hallucinogenic effects, others drank the urine of those who ate the mushroom to avoid some of the side effects. The rage of the Viking Berserkers is said to have been caused by eating the mushroom before the battle Davis et. al. 2012 Field Guide to Mushrooms of Western North America, page 36).

After you take a picture of the mushroom, take it out and turn it so you can see the underside and stipe (stem) as shown above. If possible mark the color of the spore made by taking the mushroom cap home, wrapping it in white / black paper, covering the cap with a jar or shroomies canada to reduce air flow and checking the seed print and coloring the next day.

A color-coded mushroom guide guide is a good place to start learning how to identify different species, but understand that pictures alone are often not enough to identify a particular species. Common words are not reliable, try to learn the words of science if possible.

The mushroom shown

Above is a Sarcodon imbricatum also known as the Shingled hedgehog, scaly hedgehog, scaly tooth or hawk wing. It is found in coniferous forests, evergreen and mixed forests. It is consumed according to some of my books and in some books it does not go - number.

According to Diane Boudrea the mushroom is edible, but very spicy. This mushroom is part of the Spinal or Tooth Fungi (Hydnaceae) group. To properly identify the different mushrooms you usually have to photograph them from several thegaiavoice.com and look at the reproductive.

The field also includes keys to help you reduce and identify mushrooms. Some guidelines use spore color as an important diagnostic factor. However, when it comes to eating wild mushrooms if you have any doubts about their nature - DON'T EAT IT!

The photo above shows the bottom of the group Boletus mushroom or a molded mold - owned by Diane Boudreau of Yellowknife. Suillus tomentosus also called, Blue-staining Slippery Jack, Poor Man's Slippery Jack and Woolly capped Suillus. (Eatable but not tasty). The pores turn blue when damaged, and have fibrillose scales on the cap. We found the temples in September on a trip to Cameron falls about 40 miles outside Yellowknife, Northwest Territories.

Perhaps the most important

Aspect of taking good photographs of mushrooms is light. Normally a soft covering light is best, but in the dark conditions of the forest floor, artificial light can be very helpful. Small white cards can be used to show light under a mushroom, sometimes placing a bright light behind a mushroom can create the effect of a light rim. Taylor Lockwood sometimes drills a hole in the back of a mushroom cap and puts a little bright light inside.

I'll have to try this trick. The great thing about digital cameras is that you can see the results quickly and make changes in the field of exposure, composition and depth of field if you need to.

One of the things Taylor Lockwood does before taking pictures of mushrooms is that he will clean the cap and remove any trash debris. He may also use a pine needle, a leaf, or a branch to do this.

A small paint brush

Or spray brush can also work well. Alternatively you can clean up image contamination later using Adobe Photoshop, but it is always best to do it in the field to get the best results. If not, take your time when photographing mushrooms, change your angle and try to capture different ideas.

If you want to identify a mushroom later in your photos make sure you get a picture under the cap, The Gaia Voice it also helps to dig one out and look for features like volva found near the base of toxic mushrooms.

It is best to pick mushrooms and return them for identification just try to minimize substrate damage. And you may need to collect several specimens at different stages of development. To restore the mushrooms it is best to place them in small paper bags or wrapped in wax paper. Keep notes of where you found them and other important information such as what kind of trees grow nearby.

Some photo tips for extra mushrooms

Tyr uses a wide angle lens and covers most of the background. Alternatively insert other people, or hand or finger to give a shroomies canada of scale. Some photographers will insert a pencil, coin, pocket knife, finger or ruler to provide information about the size of the mushroom.

And it is not always necessary to fill an outline with mushrooms, leave some space.
