Mae Sa Waterfalls - Chiang Mai Mushrooms

Some of the species of fungi found while exploring the Mae Sa Waterfalls in Northern Thailand.

Exactly a year ago today, I was in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Like a lot of my images these days, I get anniversary photo montage roundups, and they're mostly of mushrooms that tether me to a place in time. This reminder prompted me to make this post.

Here are some of the species I found at Mae Sa Waterfalls. And while I’ve tried to label genera/species names, some I am still not sure of, but I aim to update this post periodically.

Marasmius sp.
Hausknechtia leucostictaHausknechtia leucosticta

Calvatia sp.
Marasmius sp.
Geastrum sp. / Earthstar with small Mycena sp.
Pluteus sp.
Mycena sp.
Leucoagaricus croceus
Coprinopsis sp.
Lycoperdon sp.

NOTE: I am currently in Nha Trang, Vietnam, for the next month and plan to revisit Ba Ho Waterfalls. I plan to share some of my finds in two parts - with species spotted back in November, so stay tuned.

Beautiful! I looked to see how far away you were from Hatvala and their fantastic tea, but it's a 6 hour drive from Nha Trang. To be fair, I don't actually go there to get the tea... Driving from the UK to Vietnam would be a stretch! 😆

Those are gems! Especially Marasmius, Mycena and Tetrapygros!

Thanks Beth! My fav were the tiny red ones that reminded me of matchsticks :) I'm looking forward to going back next year - this time with a new goal as my friend just informed me today there are truffles in the region: https://www.nationthailand.com/blogs/life/food/40039058
