Default 1st Underwater Mushrooms: here in Oregon

As much as I like taking photos of mushrooms in the forest for my albums, this article caught my eye ... first underwater mushrooms known to exist ...

MailTribune.com: What lies beneath: a new mushroom

Maybe there's more, now that we know to look underwater every now and then

That really is amazing, never would have thunk it, before your link opened up i was thinking slime mould for sure..but the pics amazing I'm going to keep a watch on this one for sure. I wonder if the fungi is using a similar physiology to mangrove/marsh plants to oxygenate its subterrainean mycelia? It raises so many different questions....great link thankyou Mario.

Amazing. I've argued at length with other Arborists that mycelium can grow quite well underwater (ie water-filled cavities of trees) but I've never suggested, nor even thought that reproductive fruiting structures could form underwater.

Great find, Mario!

One thing is handy - it's probably just a 60 or 70 minute drive from our house to the area where the mushrooms are growing. Just a few miles shy of Crater Lake.

Maybe I can look for some to photograph myself in summer.

I'm sure I won't be the only person paying closer attention to streams in the years ahead - in other parts of Oregon. It's hard to imagine that the organism would be limited to just the Rogue River.

Tm it raises heaps of questions in my mind in relation to the growth of fungi generally, makes me think long and hard about wet wood, oxygenation of damaged tissues etc....

To me, it was the most interesting topic of the week, even though its a brief issue at the moment.

Not so much because its so rare, but because it "is".

There could be 100 kinds underwater, and I'd be just as interested just to find out that its possible.

I'd like to know more about what it's embedded in. Live root down in the water? Decay only? Something that burned and washed downstream? Certain type of tree wood?
