#1 More Chickens (L. cincinnatus)

June 12, 2011Laetiporus cincinnatus, MushroomsSteve

From the same cluster as yesterday. Heavy rains prompted further growth. The two good clusters I’m going to put up for sale on the Fungorium so act fast before I get to them, hehe.

#1 Unidentified

June 6, 2011Mushrooms, Unidentified MushroomsSteve

Originally thought it was Pluteus cervinus, but under the microscope there were no “horns” and the spore-print is white. It also seemed to have rhizomorphs coming off the base.

#8 Unidentified

May 24, 2011Mushrooms, Unidentified MushroomsSteve

Obviously something pleuroteroid, but I could not obtain a spore print or better look at it to narrow down which.
