Fungi Friday. Mushrooms of the national park los Quetzales. Costa Rica (ENG/SPA)
Hi community, I have not written here for a long time, but I also had several weeks of not going out to look for mushrooms in the field. But at last I have managed to return to the forest and walk along the trails of Los Quetzales National Park and look for some good images of mushrooms.
At this time the rains are almost over and they are giving way to summer, so the amount of mushrooms is less and less. However, in the higher areas there is still a lot of humidity and it is possible to find some surprises on the trail.
The first one I want to show you is Amanita hallingiana, named after the great American scientist and mushroom expert Roy Halling.
It is a little known species and the collected samples have only been found in this area of Costa Rica.
Another of the findings of the day was this beautiful purple mushroom in an immature stage, I do not know the species but I suspect that it could be a Russula, which when opened to show its beautiful umbrella shape. This is a solitary individual growing directly on the ground in the middle of the leaf litter
Going a little further up the mountain and a few meters from the trail, I could see a small red mushroom growing on a trunk and surrounded by a beautiful dark green moss. Possibly it is a species of Leccinum sp.
Finally I share the images of some beautiful Boletales, they look a lot like the species of Aureoboletus auriporus, but the lower part of the niece is not yellow but rather red, so it must be a different species that is not registered in my mushroom guides.
Well it has been a day of good finds and I am happy to be able to share them with you again.

Hola comunidad, ya hace rato no escribo por acá, pero es que también tenía varias semanas de no salir a buscar hongos al campo. Pero al fin he logrado regresar al bosque y caminar por los senderos del Parque nacional los Quetzales y busca de unas buenas imágenes de hongos.
En esta época las lluvias ya casi terminan y van dando paso al verano, por lo que la cantidad de hongos va siendo cada vez menor. Sin embargo, en las zonas altas aun se conserva mucha humedad y es posible encontrar algunas sorpresas en el sendero.
El primero que les quiero mostrar es Amanita hallingiana, bautizado en honor del gran científico estadounidense y experto de hongos Roy Halling.
Es una especie poco conocida y las muestras colectadas solo se han encontrado en esta zona del Costa Rica.
Otro de los hallazgos del día fue este bello hongo de color púrpura en un estadio inmaduro, desconozco la especie pero sospecho que podría tratarse de una Russula, el cual ala abrirse mostrar su bella forma de sombrilla. Este es un individuo solitario creciendo directamente en el suelo en medio de la hojarasca
Adentrándome un poco más en la montaña y a unos metro del sendero, pude divisar un pequeño hongo rojo creciendo sobre un tronco y rodeado de un bello musga verde oscuro. Posiblemente se trate de una especie de Leccinum sp.
Por último les comparto las imágenes de unos bellos Boletales, se parecen mucho a la especie de Aureoboletus auriporus, pero la parte inferior de la sobrina no es amarilla sino mas bien roja, por lo que debe tratarse de una especie diferente que no esta registrada en mis guías de hongos.
Bueno ha sido un día de buenos hallazgos y me alegra poder volver a compartirlos con ustedes.
