City park hunting for mushrooms on dead wood

in Fungi Lovers2 years ago (edited)

November is certainly a good month for mushroom hunting. And one doesn't have to go very far to find plenty. I recently went to get my daily steps to a nearby park in the city I live in, phone in hand and eyes on the ground looking around. I found a lot of mushrooms in a relatively small area! Here are some photos of the ones growing on dead wood.

For identification, I used the Android app 'Mushroom Identify', which is subscription based, but has a 7-day free trial. Pretty cool to be able to identify the species based on photos only 😎.


Witches' butter

It lives as a parasite of Peniophora, a genus of crusts-forming saprophyte fungi. I really like how it grows out of the cracks in the wood.

Small fruiting bodies growing on a fallen branch

Much larger, growing nearby. The brownish ones I think are old and white one is even older?

This one is probably Bjerkandera adusta? The app showed me a few possibilities. Was growing on a piece of wood laid out to form a path through the park.

Smoky bracket?

Probably Abortiporus biennis? These ones I found are particularly rosy.

They are particularly rosy
