1,046 incredible mushroom photos!
Note: Not all of these mushrooms have common names,
hence not all 1,046 are listed here… see them all at the
Index of Scientific Names

IMPORTANT NOTE
This resource is posted without warranty as to absolute taxonomic determination. In other words, it is possible that I have mislabelled a mushroom here! I am always grateful for corrections (contact me at mycology@aol.com).
DO NOT use these photos as a tool for safe identification of edible wild mushrooms—use resources that are designed for that purpose:
