shaggy scalycap
Shaggy Pholiota, or scaly Pholiota, is an edible autumn mushroom. Its Latin title is Pholiota Squarrosa. I already shared my picture of matured shrooms, and today I met some young, very fresh ones.

Due to the sharp contrast lightening pictures turned out in such a strange manner. Looks like some some mutantic outerspace aliens, invading Mother Earth... dont you think? Very lovely and photo-friendly shrooms! I really love their outlook.

When they grow up and mature, they no longer look so spike-dangerous and menacing.
This was a short post, it is all I wanted to show you concerning this mushroom -- mother nature's amazingly looking creature. There exist other species in Pholiota family, some of them are toxic and no way edible, but I havent seen them yet. This post go for #AmazingNature challenge hosted by @adalger.

Wow I've never seen these in pinning form yet.
'pinning form' doesnt means young and fresh, right?..
did you just describe the 'un-bloomed' caps with this word?
yes, me rarely see them young too. these I noticed cause I just checked the same Linden tree where I captured the matured grown-ups 10 days ago. and the spot has a new fresh appearance, I was able to shoot. nice!
They look really cool, especially with all these spikes all over ^^ But this is another one that I would not have imagined to be an eatable one, hehe
totally agree with you! they have this frightening outlook... like they developed it as a protection measure from the mushroom hunters, haha!
our aim is to learn to identify them 100% surely, but after that you can grab them without any doubts!
