We found a few the past few days in Franklin County, Indiana. So they are starting to pop! 🍄 Good Luck!

You got it! Couldn't resist the urge to get out and about for a little bit today considering the weather. Unfortunately it was pretty much dark by the time I got out. I'll try and again earlier next time. Thank you for the motivation! : D I actually have no idea what any of these are and I'm looking forward to researching them, especially since the small ones pop up all over my yard.

Beautiful lions mane that I found, sad I wasn't here sooner! 11/27/23

Nice finds!!! Thanks for the upload!

I neglected to include their habitat. Both false and real Chantelles are exclusively found in urban ecosystems where cannabaceae indigenous is widely distributed.

Good to hear from you again! I usually say last week of April, first week of May. But I'm wrong because I see some decomposing early ones every year. Didn't think to check soil temp. Good advice. Thanks.

Figured Id go ahead and start up the next two month span tonight. I like how more people have been contributing! 🎉 It honestly started with a thought, I kinda wanted a way for me to keep a easy record of stuff I've collected in case it gets lost in the ether of a smart phone. I then remembered I joined this site and tried to make it a bit more than just that and try to spread info however small or great. Anyone can always message someone and ask for a ID if you aren't sure, but how cool would it be to have and look at a collection of species so diverse and complex as fungi, not from all over but the exact state/ region as Indiana or the east north Central. And at the same time have like minded individuals who are interested just as much as you or even more, answering questions! Be safe Happy Holidays and Happy hunting. Stay warm!!! 'There's no "I" in tiam, unless you spell et wrong.' 👻 🤣

From what I can tell by the image it's a type of club fungus. Possibly..? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clavariadelphus_truncatus Either way I haven't seen those before, very interesting!

Get out there hunting guys/galls!!!! Big Reshi mushroom find going to be uploaded soon when I get better signal!

Maitake!!!!! Arms got tired on the way out the woods!

Thanks! I'm stocking up! Had a full grocery bag of oysters after that day. Here's everything on a towel before the dehydrator. You can see the verity in appearance.

Wow! Look at all those enoki and oysters. Excellent find! Enjoy the goodies that came back with you.

Huge oyster finds Monday!

Oysters Oysters!!

Found at potato creek

Correction, there is an "i" in team 😂

Mark that place for next year

Wish I would have found some of these a few days earlier 😅

Wild enoki growth under bark.

I saw a bunch of yummies in the uploads lol Aborted Entolomas And Velvet Foot Enokis are among my favorite choice fungi

Some armillaria type definitely.

Here's another batch of fall finds from over the last few days.

Yeah I but bet y'all add fentanyl to everything on that website huh? If it's not just a front to steal money. Don't even be entertained by the idea that website will send you anything, and if they do, I've seen people take shit they didn't know anything about and they aren't alive to tell you not too. So be warned beautiful people, this scam is common, And can kill. Happy foraging!

Looks like a good ID.

My son found this their dirt box. It’s probably close to a foot across! Any idea what it is?

I just found some myself Friday and they were huge! Leucopaxillus giganteus

Actually, when I just went out to look at it, it looks like there’s kind of a spore print on the patio table! It’s kind of a white dusting all under where the mushroom sat overnight.

Don't say that, " every mushrooms edible once" its entirely ignorant. And honestly they don't really have a 'heavy taste' to me, I make homemade Raman with them and boy it's freaking delicious, add to soups, they are very good for you. I just cook them for at least 30 minutes as with all my wild mushrooms cause of all the insects, and other foreign pathogens that could be on them. But I like how you start flat out telling this person that they aren't edible, then quickly redact and say you've eaten them without any problems, then try to spread your Hysteria along with. Fear mongering is lame, so quit. Unless you have actual knowledge and proof, which it's seems you are null? You don't get that to much on the shroomery .com, and a lot more trusted people from all over the world, for me Allan Rockefeller I.D.'s a lot of my odd finds I can't seem to identify, along with many other veteran mushroom cultivators and hunters. I'm going to add a file that talks about all these Edibles and the anti oxidizing, antibacterial, anti tumor, and super nutrition packed fungus it is. SIF_6_1_39.pdf

By the way, fence your chickens away from your winecaps, or any other mushroom plot. If you don't, they'll eat the mycelium and you'll get no mushrooms. Been there, done that. Bruce

I'm recently retired - old but young at heart! I am looking for comrades to hunt mushrooms with throughout IN! I like hunting alone - but it gets boring! Looking for fun individuals to form a group! Interested?

Need to do spore test with wite paper then bust out the microscope.

Don't think i'm posting right.

It looks like a pazizomycetes (cup shaped fungus) which species, I do not know. I recently found more Devil's Urn cup shaped fruiting bodies

Howard County. Around Burlington area. Early still.. Cold temps on the way also...will affect fruiting.

Working 3rd shift. Ran out to the woods quick. Found a couple. Seems early to me.

I'm near Lafayette - but my 'Bucket List' is to hunt from southern IN up into MI!

This is my first season!
