Here are a few fungi finds for this week for #fungifriday
I have no idea what this little orange guy is. Maybe it is a waxycap but who knows what it will look like when its full grown.
Here's a giant loaf of bread again. These guys tend to grow in the summer at the base of trees. The Latin name is Inonotus dryadeus and its common name is weeping polypore.
Here are more of these LBMs that keep growing in planters around here. Sadly there are so many mushrooms that look like this that it is nearly impossible to identify them. Maybe if I had microscopes and staining chemicals I could figure it out.
Here is a pig skin polypore. If you pinch it the inside will be black. These are one of the few puffballs that are inedible and poisonous. Easy to identify because of their black interior.
I saw these huge mushrooms in one of my neighbor's yard. This one is probably Chlorophyllum molybdites but maybe it is the edible Macrolepiota procera. I went back the next day to see how they bloomed out but my neighbors had chopped them down.
This is Ductifera pululahuana quite common around here during the summer heat. Sadly it is not edible because quite a bit of it grows here.
Here are a ton of LBMs, maybe they are fairy ring mushrooms? But I doubt it.
These are ephemeral ink caps. I suspect these are something similar to coprinopsis lagopus where they only last a few hours after hatching. I see them in the morning but by the time it hits 10am they are gone.
Finally here are some fun mushroom toys I always see when I take my daughter walking. More and more neighbors are buying this stuff for their yards.
That's all for now, thanks for looking :-)
