Found in Eastern Ohio. Not sure what type of tree it is, but there's lots of maple, oak, and black walnut around. There's also something dropping a cherry-like fruit (chokecherry?).

Here's a picture of the underside:

Edit: it wouldn't let me post the other picture, so I'll try doing it in a comment

The pine needles are falling here. The oak leaves are just starting as well.

Find of the day for me: Pholiota squarrosa

Three rather huge clusters directly below a Picea abies. Just in time for #FungiFriday !

I had never seen this kind before. Some more shots below.

Edit: Ugh, how can I rotate the first photo below? Jerboa posted it upside down.

This is the same stump as the sprouting Mycelium.

Here is the same mushroom from my last post but 3 days later and photographed from the other side.

I feels like a rock with a rubbery coating.

It seems to be growing what looks like roots?

It doesn't seem like it's dying off, rather it seems to be growing stronger.

It's growing under a pear tree, maybe it's feeding off of dead roots?

I'm thinking maybe a ganoderma?

Here is a closeup and one from the same angle as my last post:

Edit: Here it is 3 days ago:

A large find for me: Sarcodon imbricatus

This one was around 20cm in diameter and stood out quite a bit. The spores on the other hand are comparably tiny... (Scale bar in micrograph is 25µm).

Mushrooms are the reproductive organs, after all...

Nvm. These are wooly oak galls. I tried deleting the post, but Jerboa won't let me. Mods, you can remove if you want.

Does anyone have any idea what this is?

I thought it was a moldy pear (it's under a pear and apple tree, next to some sage and valerian), but it's hardish and attached to the ground.

Xylaria hypoxylon and some organe slime mold?

Found in western Germany.

Thought I would share this here, as it is so beautifully done and so useful.

For European mushrooms, but helpful to get a general idea anywhere.

Seen many puffballs in this area, but never like this. Today they were everywhere.

There is a ton of anecdotal evidence on the interwebs about the photosensitivity of fungi, ie, it governs the direction of pin growth, fruit colors, etc. suggesting a circadian rhythm of sorts.

There are older papers out there that do document light sensitivity in the red/blue ranges. However, none that I found have actually documented chemical changes in the fruit itself, just the changes in the structure of the fruit. (If I remember correctly, it was around 100 species that have been documented as photosensitive to some degree.)

I personally have debunked monotub side pinning being caused by light. Compaction of the substrate and limiting moisture exposure to the sides of a mycelium cake has all but eliminated side pinning for me. I digress.

So, I am just looking for new studies and research papers on this subject. Eventually, I will probably conduct my own experiments, but that is for another day.

Cheers!

Went on a trip to Northern Wisconsin last week and must have seen 8 different species of mushrooms on a single hike! Let me know if you’d like me to post some others :)

P.S. likely an Amanita? My buddy who is into mushrooms thought so, he also told me in the future I should try to get pictures of the gills.

Quite new to foraging, how come these mushrooms grow in a circle?
