09/23/2021 Fall Fungus Foray

For the past several years fall fungi have fascinated me. I have been trying hard to learn my mushrooms but it is a tall order. There are just so many and the guides have keys I find challenging to use. The different guides have different mushrooms then I am not certain I have made a correct ID. But I am trying.

At least I think I have figured out some of the major groups and while I don't think I can get it down to species I can at least get things down to genus sometimes, a few I may have even identified correctly.

I found some sort of false morels growing, they may be the same type just different ages but one was a darker brown than the other and smaller.

There are a number of different types of puffballs growing right now.

Slime molds are pretty abundant this year as well. I am not sure which ones I found today or if all that I called slime molds are slime molds or if some are fungi.

I am pretty sure I IDed King Alfred's Cakes, the eastern black trumpet, wolf's milk, and yellow fairy cups correctly.
