Hey folks,

 

I'm going to be having a rolling mushroom photo thread, if that's alright.

 

I just see so much when it is season here and I'll post the interesting ones. ID help is welcome and appreciated!

 

 

This is cool

Underside. ID anyone?

 

Ganoderma Lucidum maybe?

 

 

Dog vomit slime?

 

This is curiosity

Great pics! Can’t wait to see what else you might find. Can’t help much on ID, I’ve only just started trying to ID this year but so much to learn!

Picture three looks like a couple of Reishi growing along with some other shelf mushroom......all three are very likely medicinal.....

 

Check for a local field guide on your polypores......if you're into such things....

 

Nice pictures thanks for sharing.....

Yes, this my local medicine tree that is a polyculture of polypores. I believe their are at-least three species on it.  The other one in the picture is one of the more common Ganoderma australe or applanatum. Although their are 6 different species recorded here. Besides the lacquer color the yellow between the white and the brown is a way to distinguish between the other Ganoderma species, right?

Alright, I've finally got around to this. I went on a bit of a staycation and did some mushroom photography. My pictures are not the greatest, so apologies. There is a local abundance of Amanitas, Russulas, and Boletus.

 

First the Boletus. I'm not sure the type, but I know that if I picked all the Boletus I saw I would be cooking them up for a month straight

 

These mostly come from a forest of Beech, Pine, and Poplar. The Russulas are symbiotic with the Beech trees as I understand. The red ones I think are likely to be "The Sickener", but you can only be certain by a brief taste test (I did not taste). There is a wide variety of colors of Russulas. The gills tend to break and rub off in a certain pattern, so after you've seen a few it's easy to pick them out. Hence the name Brittlegills

 

 

I saw quite a few Aminita Muscarias. Also I found this which, to me, looks like an Aminita that could kill me

 

I don't know what these are, but they were hanging out in a green belt

 

 

Whatever this is, it is beautiful. I feel lucky to have found it. Near a river feeding into the sea on a mossy tree branch.

 

 

Now, maybe my crowning achievement. I have identified my first Psilocybe semilanceata:

 

Here are some usual suspect I found around the lib. I would guess one is a egghead mottlegill and the other is a young shaggy mane.

 

 

That's all for now. Stay safe out there, everyone!
