Fungi is everywhere. And some are growing really large. Jeanne had one that was ten inches across at her house. I have some eight inchers that look a bit like pancakes.
So many cool mushrooms out now. These were fairly large…about 6-7 inches.
It had the short gills.
This was a nice grouping and short gilled too. It looked like another fungus was attempting a takeover.
This was a strange shaped fungus. The stem was fluted. I think it might be the White Elfin Saddle (Helvella lactea) Or the other option was H. crispa. Love the common name!
Neither us had seen one quite like it before.
I had never seen such tall finger fungus before. Multiple of them were two to three inches tall. Maybe a different species than the fairy fingers that I usually find.
This bolete mushroom had a huge chunk carved out of the center.
Beautiful yellow! I think it is one of the Chanterelles (Cantharellus genus).
This is a type of false gills. The gills are more like raised veins rather then gills that are more like-blades.
It was semi-solid and didn’t have a color change/reaction to the bruising.
I loved how the caps incurved on the cow patty mushrooms.
Top view!
The smaller one had this drop of “juice”.
I think it looked like a quesadilla. LOL.
A lumpy top bolete mushroom!
Sorta key lime pie color. It is possibly a Corrugated Bolete, Horton’s Bolete (Xerocomus hortonii).
Close up. I think it is looking back at me.
Reminded me of a satellite. Searching for alien life? Maybe it found them!
Keep looking!

You’re welcome!
Love the finger fungi. One on right looks like goofy long necked bird.
I see that now. Ha ha!
Haha on the goofy bird Judy! I had to go back to see it. My favorite is the short wavy gills.
