Hello! My name is Yasunori Irie I introduce mushrooms in Japan.
I live in Tokyo, Japan, in the city of Higashiyamato-shi. It is located by Lake Tama. (rough map).
I like walking in the woods or mountains
and breathing fresh air and gathering wild
mushrooms & mountain herbs to eat; but
I do not like climbing the mountain, just
to get to the top.
I began picking up mushrooms around 1995.
The first couple of years, I just picked
mushrooms to eat. I found it is necessary to identify mushrooms
to eat them.
I thought taking photos would be the best
way to identify mushrooms and it ended up
mushroom photos piled up.
So, I made this page to put those photos
in order.
I am a beginner and an amateur for mushrooms
and photography, so I am not knowledgeable
about technical or academic fields.
My way to identify fungi is based on the
appearance of the photos in my fungi guidebook.
In that case that my photos and the photos
in my guidebook look similar, but slightly
different, I have a hard time identifying
fungi.
So, I compromise assigning names, even though
each appearance does not match 100%
There may be some mistakes on the site, so
when you eat mushrooms, you need to carefully
judge whether or not it is edible or poisons
with your responsibility.
I apologize for my poor English and language
ability.
So far, the fungi page is in Japanese. I am planning on increasing the English pages,
little by little.
Thank you for stopping by my page.
