Here is a look at the Balsam logs that grow tree ear here :)

You can see the tree ear and the crust fungi that grows first breaking down the bark and ?? It was said to be a yeast I think??

 

Here is the crust fungi .... note the purple color and the teeth instead of a flat sport surface or gills or folds.....

notice how the bark is just starting to break down and there is only one tree ear to the top right

 

notice the bark is really broken up now and the tree ear is thriving ...... the ears do come from cracks in the bark ....... think of it this way the holes in the bark make an entry point and or growing out of point.... like plugs put into the log you need to peirce the bark to get the spores at  the wood so the mycellia can grow until the food is gone or almost gone then they will bloom and spore to fly to a new ready log..... tons of spores flying threw the air or on in the ground for years waiting for the right time just like the seedlings waiting to sprout after a tree fall to create more light and space / food to provide life from death .......I love mushrooms for this very purpose this time of year eating up all the dead stuff a dead log full of life for years before it disappears :) I have a few stump pictures that are very cool :) here is one

Virginia creeper high in the trees ...lookin cool against the green

These  were growing on a log (standing still) near the above mushrooms .....

 

 

 

and these were growing on a log laying on the forest floor in the same area

notice how its deformed....its not the only one

 

 

 

 

 

here is some small deformed ones

 

 

 

maybe this or these mushrooms eat more then what was previously thought more poking around is necessary and to prove it would need to be tested??

 

[wildedibles]

not oyster mushrooms I think these are called angel wings cuz their toxic? brown spores Oyster mushrooms have white / lavender light spores

Here is some pictures from a hunt a week or so ago .... everything now is covered in snow for now

 

 

I don't know what mushroom this one is but it held up to the heavy frost

 

 

 

this time of year you can see threw the woods since the smaller trees and bushes and flowers have lost their leaves

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

this stump is almost all eaten away full of life

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have a few more pictures of mushrooms to add later

The ones that didn't mind getting frozen could be Flammulina velutipes.

The aborted Entoloma are really yummy!! They are referred to as Shrimp of the Woods... They are kinda of rubbery if you don't cook them right but if you brown them, they have a texture that is almost exactly like shrimp... They are one of my favorite foraging finds....!!!!

Good to know thank you :)
I read the whiter the better when collecting
I was gonna try them this year but I wasnt sure if my allergies would be the same as the lobster mushroom but that one is a mold species that eats Russulia or Lactarius and these ones are a mushroom eating a mushroom and Im allergic to mold
....try a small amount next year see how it reacts with me I love shrimp :) this is why I liked the lobster mushroom it works well for a sea food meat alternative these would work well for vegatarians too :)
