I wondered about Brunn. myself after xnme’s reply. I looked at the spore print from over night and here’s what it looks like. It was broken up in a few pieces so it would lay flat. But after reading more last night, are they this far out east in Indiana? It almost seemed like they were just a western US mushroom?

Just found these during a walk in the woods. There were hundreds of them on the ground around a few trees and growing out of the tree. I live in northern Indiana, but I could t find anything that looked right when I tried to identify them. I wondered about a deer mushroom, but these don’t have a ring on the stem. I thought they also looked kind of like oysters, but from what I read, oysters grew on decaying trees, not all over the ground like in the pic. Or maybe ringless honeys? The weather got up into the 80s this last week and then dropped down into the 40sand 50s yesterday, so these are probably past their prime…. Any ideas on what they might be?

I posted a few pics of some mushrooms like this I found in our woods last fall. I saw them growing again last week and took a spore print this time to help with identification. I’m learning! so I’m wondering if these are most likely shaggy parasols? as you can see from the photo, the spore print is a whitish cream color. It also grows out of a big bulbous base. The mushrooms started out roundish and then the cap flattened out into mostly convex shape. I cut the cap with a knife and it did seem to have a very slight reddish tint to it. I don’t think it is a false shaggy parasol because these were growing in a 100% shaded area with zero direct Sun. And the spore print didn’t have a greenish tint to it What do you think?

Thanks!

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.

No unfortunately I didn’t get a spore print. It’s still sitting out on the back patio though. Would it be too late a day later?

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

I found these growing on a rotten log in my back yard. Any idea what they are? The underside is very smooth.

Thanks Bruce!

I was out walking again and came across these mushrooms? Might they be oysters?

Thanks! I though they were chanterelles, but I wanted a second opinion first. I went back out there and found a bag full of them.

I went for a walk this morning after a few days of rain at my mother-in-laws place near flint, mi and there were mushrooms everywhere! I snapped some pics to see if anyone could identify them. The last three pics are of the same group of mushrooms. Thanks!

I found these two mushrooms in the woods behind our house. Does anyone know what they are?

Thanks for the help!! Yeah it does look like it is a bit ragged and not in the best shape... I found another one nearby but it looked like a critter had found it and torn it all up.

Oops, I meant to say I think it’s a chicken of the woods...
