Y’all, have you seen a decorated Pholiota (Leucopholiota decorosa)? It’s definitely a sight to be seen! #mushrooms #fungifriends

Compare these to black staining polypores, looking in prime condition too!

Sometimes it’s hard to believe that bird’s nest fungi are a real thing! #mushrooms #fungifriends

One of the prettiest mushrooms IMO!

I did too. Then I found a chocolate tube slime mold and was blown away. They are cool!

Ahhh, we're both wrong 🤦‍♀️I was apparently asleep when I was writing this 😂. It's Craterellus ignicolor

The veins of the yellowfoot chanterelle. Notice how thick and blunt they are compared to "normal" gills.

Nice find! It is rare to find oyster mushrooms without the lil bugs

Not so innocent, these mushrooms 😜 . They're actually quite brutal. Good eating, though 😁 -- the #circleoflife, and so it goes

Yeah, chicken of the woods is parasitic. And saprotrophic. It is infecting the tree. The good news is that it usually takes a long time (its a slow parasitization), so the tree might still live 10-20 years more (and produce the mushroom all that time 🤞). Eventually though the tree will die.
