Fungi Friday - On a Saturday lol

in FungiFriday2 months ago

I mixed up my posts and accidentally posted my #fungifriday in mushroomlovers where I usually post #mushroommonday. Anyway here are some more sightings for this #fungifriday on a Saturday lol.

I noticed this scene in a jewelry story nearby. They have a meadowlark (poor beak broke) and some nice orange waxycaps next to him. I could see a nice window display of nothing but mushrooms draped with various expensive jewelry to entice buyers like me into getting my wife an anniversary present lol. I'm probably the only guy that would do that because of a mushroom display though.

This was a failed experiment to see the jackolantern mushroom glowing. I took one home and put it in a dark closet with a long exposure camera. Sadly my camera didn't pick up the faint glow at all. I suspect they probably glow better if they are not picked. So the next test will be to try and find some and setup a tripod outside without picking them to see their green glow.

Here is something that resembles a brown blewit aka Collybia brunneocephala.

The only problem is their stem color wasn't white or thick enough. so now I have another LBM on my hands to identify.

1000000918.jpg
Speaking of LBMs tons of them are growing wherever there are wood chips here.

They have brownish gills and have the shape of a mower mushroom. Their caps are way too orange for a mower mushroom though. My second guess would be fairy ring mushrooms since there were so many growing but Marasmius oreades tends to have a lighter gill color.

Right next to them a white version was growing. This one had dark gray gills maybe from age. I suspect these wood chips came from a few different forests and brought lots of different spores with them.

This looks like a young beech rooter.

1000000913.jpg
The really long stem usually gives beech rooters away, they also have a root that goes into the ground hence their name. Eventually their cap blooms out and inverts into a goblet shape.

Look at these cute little hats.

1000000920.jpg
I suspect these are Conocybe tenera aka common cone cap. But as usual these fall into the LBM category so it could be something different.

This one is unmistakable with a common name of dog vomit slime mold. During summer it grows everywhere especially on wood chips. Gardeners don't like this stuff ruining the aesthetic of their nice plants lol. There are some studies that show this stuff contains cancer fighting properties, I'm just not sure how to extract the compounds from it. Perhaps a tincture?

That's all for now, thanks for looking, next time I'll be more careful on which community I post to for #mushroommonday or #fungifriday lol.

Sort:  

You made a great discovery for this unique mushroom, brother.
Even though you posted it on Saturday for the #FungiFriday challenge :)

Thanks for looking, I just got back from finding even more. So I'll still have something for #mushroommonday and for next #fungifriday.

Wow...
Will definitely see something new and unique later :)

You're welcome!

Are the jack-o'-lanterns Armillaria??
I really like everything about fairy ring mushrooms. I need to find enough of them to try that cookie recipe I once saw...
It's common to see spindly little mushrooms like that conocybe in grass, isn't it? This morning I saw a single similar mushroom. Except it was quite large for this type. It was towering very high above the grass, and with the same shape cap (also large) atop a slender stipe. Danggit I should have taken a picture but it all happened so fast. This was right by soldier field.

Yeah I bet that tall one is a beech rooter. Fairy ring mushrooms can be tricky as they look alot like other mushrooms so be careful about cooking them lol. The jackolanters latin name is Omphalotus olearius they glow just like the honey mushrooms (Armillaria). The glow is very faint so its really tough to catch on camera. Even long exposures doesn't quite capture it.
