Leucocoprinus birnbaumii in our rosemary pot, what a nice surprise
Unknown little brown mushrooms in the mulch around a decoritive tree
Here's the stinkhorn closeup, I wasn't sure what it was at this point
Dunno but its growing between some AC units
I had no idea what these were, wasn't even sure they were mushrooms because they were so hard and slimey, turns out its stinkhorn
Wasn't sure but thought it looked interesting, turned out to be a Leucoagaricus americanus
Enoki in the initiating phase about to go in the fridge
Contaminated, was going to be shiitake :-(
Leucoagaricus americanus
Old puffballs covered in mycelium from sprouted spores
Seems to be a leucoagaricus americanus
These little, very hard balls popped up in a garden bed. They turned out to be stink horns
Lepiota? Amanitas? Near the garbage at Alexan Place
Gigantic mushrooms in Duke Forest, nearly a foot tall and 3 in a row. There was also some blue tape so I'm guessing its a Duke experiment
Lepiota or similar in a well rotted stump
Its been raining a lot and the mycelia is bursting forth everywhere
Nice cluster of mushrooms in a wet spot in Duke Forest
Lepiota? Not sure but I like it and we have a lot of them
Phallus impudicus (Stinkhorn) at Alexan Place
Golfball sized puffball at Alexan Place
Leucocoprinus birnbaumii I think
Leucoagaricus Americanus spore print
Not sure what these are but they are popping out of a corncob in the compost
More stinkhorns coming up
Clearly the stinkhorn isn't winning any beauty contests but I still like it
Brown Beech on potato agar, the sample is covered with white fuzz and starting to move into the agar
Grocery Store Oyster starting to take over the agar. The swath on either side is from moisture sloshing around in there, I hope is mushroom mycelium and not contamination
Fully colonized enoki jar, having trouble getting it to fruit
My corncob mushroom turned out to be ink caps (I think)
My corncob mushroom turned out to be ink caps (I think), very deep 'roots'
Pleurotus pulmonarius (i think), found this log running in Duke Forest today, borrowed it
Oyster (P. pulmanarius) or Angel Wings? Note the thin flesh
Ink cap
Maybe Clathrus Columnatus, a stinkhorn in Duke Forest
A butterfly, huge hornet, and barely visible ants suck sap from a great old tree
Already gone by but I think this is an oyster tree, have to keep an eye on it, Duke Forest
Oyster or Angel wing stem butts and egg carton, 4 days old
Oyster mycelium quickly took over this agar and started growing up the walls
Purple mushroom in Duke Forest, blewits maybe?
Black staining polypore, edible and a common maitake look-a-like although once you find maitake you wouldn't mix them up again.
Happy mushrooms on a stump, Duke Forest
Not a bad morning
Smaller hen ~3-4lb
Wild Oyster mushrooms
Oyster mushroom spawn made from cloned wild mushrooms
Brown Beech mycelium growing on paper towels. This is a few monthes of growth and finally smells good rather than like chlorine
Blewit (I think)
Blewit that's been frozen for a while. It has a second, mutatant cap growing from it
2-3 lb Oysters. Some are the biggest I've ever seen. Waxy ones on right are angel wings that have gone a bit too far by.
A small Chicken of the Woods, tastier than the last one I had
Thought to be pleurotus dryinus; some sort of pleurotus for sure, maybe
joe had his eyes on today
chanterelle
multiple chanterelles mingling
A common sight today
Black Trumpet Chanterelles
perfect chanterelle
3lb chanterelle, cinnabar-red, and black trumpets
Nice coral mushroom, there were a bunch in this area
little bolete on the hillside
small troop marching through the woods
puffbals
little yellow bolete
little bittersweet bolete
troop of black trumpet chanterelles on a mossy knoll
been trying to figure this one out. really common and see them nearly year round. What is it?
chanterelles
large ground mushroom. is that a tick in the gills?
Cinnabar-red chanterelle troop at the base of a blown over tree
mutant extra caps seems to be a common deformity in chanterelles. also seen in a blewit
~5lb chanterelle, just my take from ONE spot
its been a good year for chanterelle
varnish shelf behind ron and sally's house. Dark dots are chaff from bug holes in the mushroom
varnish shelf from behind ron and sally's house
yet another 5lb of chanterelle
always nice to be home around the dinner table
like fat turkey tails. not trametes versicolor (afaik) but similiar hairy top and general look. Just some pretty shelves on a rotting stump
