Woah, look at that spore load. Nice find.

I don’t think Lycogala moves around like you would see Fugilo septica (dog vomit) move over time, creeping along. Usually just these little pink or brownish balls. If you poke them with a stick when young they’ll exude a paste-like substance.

I think you’re on to something, this is definitely not H. erinaceus

- Comment on Pseudohyndnum gelatinosum 5 weeks ago:
I am submitting these to a province wide project so I’m not doing the barcoding myself but I have watched Alan Rockefeller give a talk on doing it at home. I watched a different one a while back but this presentation looks like a good start too.
- Comment on Pseudohyndnum gelatinosum 5 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t say they are super uncommon but they are very small, I only ever see 1 fruiting at a time and they are easy to miss. I’m not sure what the range is on these but this is from northern BC.

- Comment on MycoMap BC Project: If you are in BC, you can have fungi and slime mould DNA sequenced for free, no restrictions. 1 month ago:
Mycota has done these in a few states so far, I’d keep an eye on them and see if once of these projects happens in your area (if you are in north america). Also if in North America, they hold continental mycoblitzes, they are over a shorter period of time and have limits on the number of submissions you can make. The continentals usually have a target species where you can submit as many of those species as you like, though. The next continental is the Fall one, October 17 – 26. Sorry, if you’re not in NA.

There aren’t really that many deadly poisonous mushrooms in North America considering how many species we have, most we just don’t know. This probably won’t get you high either, haha.

- Comment on They Really Do Just Push Up From The Ground, Don't They 1 month ago:
One time I came across a massive flush of shaggy manes that had created a large fissure right across a well-used, hard-packed gravel logging road. They just split the earth open like it was garden soil.

Doesn’t look too bad in the cross section but it ended up being pretty wormy through the rest of it.

- Comment on Honey mushrooms 1 month ago:
I’m surprised we got these, season started out good but now we are going on almost 2 months with no rain in my area.
- Comment on Honey mushrooms 1 month ago:
Yeah, I feel you. I’ve been seeing these for years and just didn’t feel confident enough in my skills to eat them until this year. Now I don’t think I could mistake them for much else. I do still check each one, there were some Hypholoma sp. growing pretty close to these, not incredibly similar but enough to keep you on your toes.
- Comment on Honey mushrooms 1 month ago:
Yes, definitely what we usually do with new species but took a little extra care this time because GI upset seems to be common. When I got mushroom poisoning from the C. brunneum it was a group lunch so definitely learned my lesson, I think Chlorophyllum tends to cause a high number of issues too.

If Stereum doesn’t check out you could take a look at Plicatura.
- Comment on Anyone know what this is? 1 month ago:
Don’t think this is a lichen, seems to be a shelf fungus.

Kind of terrifying haha

Neat! I have yet to actually see the fruits but see the stained wood all the time haha.
