Mushrooms from October 2005
|
The month started with 44 hours of non-stop rain. I found more in
one day then I had all last month. And there where 2 days like that.
Unfortunatly, for one reason or another, the picture quality wasn't as high as it could have been for a number of them. This is likely to be the last major page for this year. I was left with only about 45 minutes of daylight after work and the change to/from Daylight Savings Time leaves me with only my days off to find new fungus. And it is quickly getting too cold for them. |
| 0001 | 01. This light lemon colored one was very soft and the top popped right off. |
|
| 0002 | I caught a rare one here. These aren't actually 'mushrooms'. They are the fruiting body of lichen. Some types only get to do this once in a few decades, some even less often. |
|
| 0003 | This what happens when it rains for two days without stop. These would have been perfectly edible Honey Musrhooms. If you look at the last one you can see that it 'melted' |

Another one that is water-logged. No hope if an ID.
Russula[0] |
|
| 0006 | HIIK |
|
| 0007 | Two differant lighting effects on the gills. |
|
| 0008 | These are all the same type but in differant stages of growth. The velvity stuff falls off as it develops. |
|
| 0009 | The next few sets are what may or may not be some types of red topped Russulas. |
|
| 0010 | Set two of Russulas. |
|
| 0011 | Set three of red topped Russulas |
|
| 0012 | This guy was maybe 6 inchs tall. But also water-logged. |
|
| 0013 |
Gossamer would be the best way to describe this one.
Coprinus sp. - C. disseminatus?[0] |
|
| 0014 |
Only the second kind of cup mushroom I have found.
Cyathus striatus Bird's nest fungus[0] |
|
| 0015 | Check out the gills on this completley normal looking one. |
|
| 0016 | Nice gill formation. |
|
| 0017 | I kept hoping that this one would get bigger but it never got more than one an a half inches long. |
|
| 0018 | Your guess is as good as mine. |
|
| 0019 |
I was very disappointed to see that these got smashed under the tiers
of a riding mower.
Calvatia cyathiformis Purple-spores puffball[0] |
|
| 0020 | This were found right next to the last set about two days afterwords. |
|
| 0021 | This is one were picture quality sucked. |
|
| 0022 | This should be easy to name if I pull out my book. |
Lepiota[0]
|
| 0023 | LBMs. Differant views. |
|
| 0024 | I tried to ID this one last year. It is what started me making my website since I thought it shoul be easy to find. I have still not got a positive ID on it. |
|
| 0025 | HIIK |
|
| 0026 | Various oyster musrhooms where out in force this month. |
|
| 0027 | Found the same day as the last set but about 15 miles away. |
|
| 0028 | HIIK |
|
| 0029 | Varying views of this one. |
|
| 0030 | These can only be discribed as cute. |
|
| 0031 | LBM HIIK |
|
| 0032 | Hardy little guys. |
|
| 0033 | Found these a few days after the ones above that look just like them. |
The one I am holding was the smallest one.
|
| 0034 | These are shown in various stages of development and death. The uprooted ones are all the same one. The last of which was two days latter. |
|
| 0035 | Odds and ends I. A stinkhorn, boletus, and two mystery ones. I have been waiting for 3 weeks for the last one to do something intersting. |
 
|
| 0036 | Odds and ends II. |
|
| 0037 | Odds and ends III. My girlfriend spent 10 minues with a nailfile cutting off the second ones from a wooden table from her work. They were so hardy that this picture was taken 3 days latter an they still looked the same. |
Daedaelea confragosa Maze polypore[0] 
|
| 0038 | LWM HIIK, more bad shots. |
