Pulling up couch.............

[wildedibles]

Im hoping soon to add more pictures in here for last year
Bump so i can find it easier ;)
The one mushroom im adding next is my fav for the whole year :)
Its unknown to me so an id would be cool
Small mushroom growing from a well rotted birch log
Kinda orange brown and cream
Veil on cap and stem spikey looking
I didnt take a sample for spore sample
But i did take pictures.......

[wildedibles]

This was a small mushroom under 5 cm

growing from well rotted birch logs 

very frilly like cotten candy spikey tho not flat like some others I found

this one was a loner I seen the others growing in groups spread out along the log

log is almost dirt at this point if the bark was not attached like it was I would have no idea on tree species

I dodnt take a sample home for spore print ? spore color??

growing in sept warm summer / fall after 2 very harsh winters

................I think this was my favorite unknowm mushroom this year 2015 :)

very delicate but spikey :) 

 

54 showing birch bark growing from well rotted wood birch bark was around 
the bark rots slower so you can tell it was a birch log from this very rotted wood with moss growing on it ;)
this log is becoming its own mini ecosystem

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[wildedibles]

64 you can see the curve to the veil material on the stipe 
pretty side view with woods blurry in the background 

 

 

67 you can see top side with white birch bak in the back

 

 

 

69 is a cool close up ....... 

blown up shows the top clearly with all the veil material on the cap ........
looking simular to the patern a pine cone takes on ;) 

 

 

So if anyone can help id this one would be cool :) If I find more like this I will add them too....

Beautiful, Wilde.  I'm having a hard time picking which to nominate for POTM.

[wildedibles]

I believe these mushrooms are Oyster mushrooms growing on an old Maple tree

2016 mushroom hunting year is off to a great start :)
I collected a few Morel mushrooms from mine and my Mom's yard :)
Me and hubby just collected the first Chanterelle's of the season :)
I have been trying to find some and learn about actives found in the woods in Ontario and we found two different kinds already :)
http://www.mushroome...iquiritiae.html
Pretty sure this is the one we found .....it lacks a ring zone maybe sometimes it looks like a ring zone is or was there but not any more ??
.............and the flesh in the cap turns pink / red not yellow??? so maybe its this one??

Here is round 2

 

found on well rotted Maple logs on the ground ...mushroom directly growing from the wood

 

 

notice the texture of the cap this is a very tiny mushroom tho only a few 3-5 mm 

 

 

 

 

the stem is covered in fuzz

 

 

 

gills light in color at first and then rusty brown

[wildedibles]

Sorry to correct these mushrooms are 3-5cm wide cap

 

you can notice the scaly surface on the top of the cap

 

 

notice the veil remnants on the edge of the cap

 

 

spores will be on the top of some of the mushrooms

 

 

 

 

[wildedibles]

turns black inside the stem the stem will dry black too

 

 

some were found in small groups and some singly

 

 

 

 

 

 

The flesh stains red / pink

[wildedibles]

Here is some pictures of Indian pipe, ghost plant, Monotropa uniflora.

https://en.wikipedia...otropa_uniflora

 

 

 

 

You can see why this plant/mushroom has gotten the common name ghost plant from.  The dark part of the woods dark and cool dark greens and browns then every once in a while this interesting very white form peeks out of the forest floor and you just gotta take a closer look to see what it is :)

[Discretion]

these grow in my area where a river commonly floods yearly :) Thanks for sharing all the beautiful pictures wildedibles :)
