Fungi Friday - Summer Rain Discoveries

Here are a few fungi finds for this #fungifriday by Hive account@ewkaw

These first few are in the Crepidotus family. They kind of resemble tiny little oyster mushrooms. The millipedes also seem to love them.

I suspect these might be Crepidotus mollis because of their brown cap color, though there are quite a few variants of Crepidotus so who knows what they might really be.

These white Crepidotus are fairly recognizable. I believe they are Crepidotus applanatus.

These guys only grow to about the size of a quarter. I'm not sure if they are edible or not, I'm guessing they are too tiny to really be useful for harvesting anyway. I suppose foragers could confuse these with baby oyster mushrooms and possibly consume them. I haven't found anything about them being poisonous though.

Look at this reddish brown bolete.

I suspect this might be a bicolor bolete but there are quite a few different species that resemble this. It did stain blue and had yellow pores. I didn't pick this particular one to see the staining because it looked too perfect like this lol.

Here is a russula. I suspect it might be Russula amoenolens because of its brown color...

Here is a strange crust fungi growing after the rain. I suspect it will dry out into a flat crust once the rain stops. I think it might be Phanerochaete chrysorhiza aka spreading yellow tooth.

Here's a strange grayish green bolete that grew so fast that it absorbed some grass. It might be edible as well because I'm seeing quite a few rodent teeth marks in the cap.

The gills are also grayish green with just a hint of red near the top of the stem. You can see the blue staining happening on the pores as well.

I also did a test to see if the cap's flesh bruised as well. Maybe this could be Boletus durhamensis as the cap and pores are the right color, however Boletus durhamensis doesn't have the reddish stem. Sadly I didn't do a taste test to see if it was bitter otherwise I could have confirmed it was Caloboletus inedulis which looks quite similar.

That's all for now, happy #fungifriday and thanks for looking :-)
