Tale of two morels, one real and the other false. I finally found a black morel (Morchella angusticeps) in my woods, which is later than normal. And on the same day I found a Giant's False Morel (Maublancomyces gigas). I’m not sure if it’s unstable temperatures or maybe a residual effect of last summer’s drought, but the morels are starting slowly here this year. I’m hoping things will pick up in time for the blonds, which generally are my best producers. #FungiFriday #mushrooms #athensoh
A few alternative mushroom pics from the last month.
* Three Barometer Earthstars [Astraeus hygrometricus] forming a ladder up a mossy embankment.
* A small clump of bright orange Cinnabar Polypores [Pycnoporus cinnabarinus] that were either chomped or grew in with an odd shape.
* A moss covered branch with several glossy yellow Witches Butter [Tremella mesenterica] jelly mushrooms.
A little bouquet of pixie cups (𝘊𝘭𝘢𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘢 sp.) amidst some moss, from the Wiley Trails:
The panther cap is an uncommon mushroom, found in both deciduous, especially beech and, less frequently, coniferous woodland.

Tucked away in its little cave of stone and moss.

For #FungiFriday I present these interesting #mushrooms I encountered in Jennings, #Louisiana earlier this week. I believe they are Fringed Sawgills (Lentinus crinitus). At least the top of their caps have the scaly appearance that this species is known for…
A grump (a cross between a group and a clump) of mushrooms, possibly Mica Cap (Coprinellus micaceus), growing in the depression between several branches of a tree
Mushroom lamp for the wall!
Works with (well hidden) batteries. Glows lime green, hats with glow in the dark effect. It's not just a banger but also a hanger ;)

this globby fungus clearly enjoys nibbling on the ends of broken branches — I saw a number of examples
