Indian summer is a brief time in fall where it gets hotter than summer before snapping into cold. This is of course a bad time for finding mushrooms.

I was able to find this berekeley's polypore, but sadly it was tough and dried out by the time I found it.

If you can find them right when they are forming they are almost as good as chicken of the woods. Now this thing is as tough as wood.

I took my daughter on a walk through the forest. These dried out old polypores were on a tree we walked by.

I thought it might be artist's conk but they seem to be turning black unlike artist's conk which remains white.

Here is a strange dried out copper looking mushroom inside a dead tree.

This reminds me of a mushroom that @littlebee4 found recently poking out from under some bark. Sadly I wasn't able to find the ID on it yet...

This dead tree had an interesting maple pattern. I've seen guitars made out of this pattern of wood and they look amazing I believe it is called spalted maple.

Here is the dead tree where we found the mushrooms. It is also a chair eerrr more like a toilet lol.

There were also some red belted polypores inside the toilet tree chair too.

Sadly these are all the mushrooms I found, now its off to play in the shelter made by a bigfoot.

That's all for now, thanks for looking :-)

Interesting mushrooms and good shots, you can see the texture :)

Thanks :-) mushroom texture can be important in finding an accurate identification. I always try and get the gills for research later.

Rare and appealing find!

I really love that spalted maple pattern. I wanted to get a guitar like this made out of it.

In my opinion, this wood does looks like its a Karelian birch. But maybe spalted maple can have such texture too. Whatever. Looks FANTASTIC! Did you manage to get it?

Thanks again :-)

Yes it reminds me too of the one I found.

Great finds, that chair is cool 😎
Have a nice new week!

Yes, it looks that way.

step away from the chair 😳

the shelter made by a bigfoot

Looks human to me. I think bigfoot could do better 😁

spalted maple

Very interested. I did not know this was a thing. I always thought those patterns were boring insect tracks

It might have been made by a baby medium sized foot lol. It would be interesting to get a guitar textured with emerald ash borer patterns. Maybe fill in the wood borer patterns with a colored resin of sorts.
