Mushrooms In The Mountains

Here are some photos of mushrooms we found this month; I tried to identify them, but most of them weren’t in my book –it’s time for a better field guide! 

Mushroom family

These were growing in clumps on a downed oak tree.

 

Little Red Mushrooms 

These are  1 to 1 1/2 inches tall, coming up through moss -they were the only two that we saw.

 

Shelf Mushroom

Possibly –Coriolus Versicolor (bracket fungus, Turkey Tail)

This one was on a chunk of either cherry or oak.

 

Toadstool 

We found several of these, here and there, in our turn-around.

 

Bowl Mushrooms

Daniel called these “bowl mushrooms”, also growing on dead wood.

 

Mini Mushrooms

Possibly –A species of Mycena (Elf Cap)

We have several colonies of these tiny mushrooms, they come up around old oak stumps.

 

Little Yellow Mushrooms

Hygrocybe nitida

We found these on a dry mountainside, just below a wild blueberry patch.

 

Hope you all enjoyed these. :)
