Hello, I recently went on a hike around the Denham Trail, Weaver Lake, BC (near Harrison Mills - past Hemlock Valley ski resort) and located a number of interesting mushrooms growing near the trail. These were all located on September 7th, 2013 midday after a crazy overnight downpour. If anybody can identify them I would greatly appreciate the knowledge. Thanks! http://imgur.com/a/6spt4#0
Agree re puffball, and 1 appears to be an upside-down lobsterized Russula (brevipes). Can you re-orient your album? Might be easier to see these guys.
Now I have doubts about the puffball. It looks like the mushroom may have a stipe. If so, it is not a puffball.
Hi Ldword, Nice finds! Keeping in mind the limitations in ID from photo info only: 1. Lobster 2. Spore colour information would be useful. The habitat and general form suggest Tapinella. Was the base fuzzy black? If not, there are some oyster-like mushrooms such as Hohenbuehlia. 3.&4. If it has pink spores, maybe a Leptonia. Was it on ground or wood? If it has white spores, perhaps a Mycena. 5. Chanterelle 6. Lycoperdon perlatum 7. Possibly Polyporus: Was the underside smooth, stalk half or fully black and the whole thing sort of firm/leathery? If the underside was different let me know. 8.&9. What was the base of the stalk like, and was it on ground? What was the top of the cap like? I'm wondering if it might be an Amanita. Hope that helps! frog ... Great season so far folks - Interesting things out there! :-) :-) :-)
