Hello everyone, I am so lucky I've come across your site. I am working a a "coffee table" book especially for mushrooms and lichens that I have photographed. I have been desperately seeking a place to help ID them. I have several books with photos but I seem to come away more confused than ever. I hope I've come to the right place. I will upload my first image now to see if I'm successful.
Welcome to the Forum, hudakore! Boy, have you ever come to the right place. There is a bevy of fungus experts here that can and will ID whatever you've got! Many supremely knowledgeable fungus folk are here---among them Frog, MycoRob, and the one and only C.Wick*---best anywhere. *a dab hand with a camera, too.
No pressure togata57. #1 could be a Crepidotus, but i wouldn't venture a species. I'd like to know what the underside of the cap looks like. I'd really like to see a picture from the top, as well as a cross section of #2. #3 looks like a Peziza or other cup fungus. Hope others will chime in ...
... I'm stalling... I agree with MycoRob's comments and info requests, but would like to add "young Schizophyllum commune" to the list of possibles for #1. Thank you Togata57 :-)
When you say "young schizophyllum commune, does that mean there are several mushrooms clustered together?
That sounds like a reasonable interpretation of the species name - I've never thought about it. I like the genus name quite a bit, and it seems to match a medicinal use of this fungus <grin>.
you're first is Schizophylum commune..... you're other two may come up with lots of problems ID'ing... the second is possibly a type of Earthball or false puffball? but.........
