The Beautiful Cornell Mushroom Blog
One of the (maybe even THE) most attractive and nicely done mushroom blogs out there is the Cornell Mushroom Blog. It’s done up right by Kathie Hodge and friends. Do not be alarmed by what appears to be a red-suited demon favicon on your browsers address bar.
Marvelously illustrated and replete with thoughtful (witty even) remarks, it’s a joy to peruse. Darned useful too with sections about food, animal, environmental, and other kinds of mycology. The borescope photography stuff is particularly unique and interesting.
To give you a feel for the site, here is an excerpt from a post titled the fungus in my maple syrup:
“Last week an uninvited guest showed up for breakfast. As I poured maple syrup over my son’s waffle, Plop! A perfect dime-sized fungus colony spilled out to crown that waffle like a malevolent pat of butter.” Meet Wallemia sebi!
Yum! er… I mean, yuck!

Thanks for your warm comments, Phil, and welcome to the blogosphere. My favicon Red Lucy is in fact a serenely meditative, mushroom hunting girl in a cat-suit. Her full portrait hangs on my office wall, and there is a red mushroom hovering beside her. She is my emblem, I guess.
My pleasure. Cat suite eh? Weird.
