First is some false turkeytail completely infesting a broken branch.
Stereum ostrea is often referred to as tremella lunch box. Tremella is another fungi that is a type of jelly fungi that is edible. If you find false turkeytail you can sometimes find the edible tremella fungi like white cloud, witch's butter or amber jelly roll parasitizing it.Here are a few fungi finds from this week for #fungifriday by @ewkaw
As usual the mycenas were out in force after the fall rains.
Technically these are edible but they taste pretty bad and cook down to nothing so no one bother's eating them. Slugs really love munching on them though.
Now for an unidentified pillowy white mushroom.
I flipped one over to look at the gills and they are nice and symmetrical without a veil or stem ring. So that eliminates these as being amanitas. The formation they were growing in reminds me of honey mushrooms but honey mushrooms aren't white and have a stem ring. I cut the gills to see if they were milk caps of some kind but they didn't bleed so this one must be some obscure species that looks like many other mushrooms... To hard to ID for now.
Here's a hare's foot ink cap aka Coprinopsis lagopus.
These are technically edible as well but they aren't very good to cook with as they disintegrate. This one was about to melt into nothingness but the rain puffed it up one more time before it turns into black dust.
Now for an unidentified amanita emerging from the forest floor.
Perhaps it will eventually turn into these guys. I haven't identified these yet either but they were all over the ground bursting up from underneath the fall leaves. I doubt they are edible.
That's all for now, thanks for looking :-)
Not sure I would be able to eat the jelly fungi... ... Lol
They are actually pretty good in soup, but my favorite way of cooking them is to boil them with loads of spices then dehydrate it into a crunchy chip. Makes for a really nice spicy crunchy chip rather than a chunky gummy bear soup mushroom.
Crunchy chip DOES sound better! 😆 Saw tons of the false turkey tail on my last walk. Should try to get out there again soon!
Yeah keep an eye out for the all the nice jelly fungi. Here's my recipe for them, it also works for regular mushrooms too for a more chewy jerky. https://peakd.com/hive-151327/@sketch.and.jam/fungi-friday-mushroom-chips-and-jerky
You live in an ideal place for the development of mushrooms, you always show us very beautiful varieties.
I love the shapes and textures of what you have found, I appreciate that you let us know
have a beautiful morningHow are you dear friend @sketch.and.jam good morning
Those white ones still have me perplexed. I've been searching for quite a while trying to figure out what they are. Who knows they might be a good edible or a deadly toxic one lol.
Ahh, I really want to see those pictures, but they don’t wanna show for some reason 🙈 I’ll come back to this later, maybe they’ll load! 😁

yeah looks like a node went down, womp.

great selection. to me your photo of the unidentified amanita looks like it could be a chmpignon.
!DHEDGE
I know, it looks deceptively like one. But who knows it could be one with some toxins in it. I usually stay away from foraging white amanita style mushrooms.

Getting closer to the solstice on the wet coast:
And a little hottie just for you:)
That's a lot of nice amanitas. Here I only see the yellow less potent ones.
Nice Friday Finds 👍 I like that last shot with the fully open mushrooms in the leaves. Very Fall.
I wish I knew what those scaley cap white mushrooms are. Gotta dig deep in the mycology forums for that ID.
