Recent mushroom photos from Vermont

Polypore

I've been seeing lots of mushrooms in Vermont lately. So I took some time to photograph a few for todays post.

Polypore

This large polypore was in my yard. It already had grass growing up through it when I found it

Twofer

Lots of mushrooms growing the pine needle forest floor like these small brown mushrooms.

Coral

I found this cluster of coral mushrooms under a pine tree again in the needles.

Coral

White pine trees are very common in Vermont. In my area, maybe as common as the more famous maples.

White pine bolette

These yellow mushrooms might be white pine bolette which would be appropriate.

I'm not sure about the mushroom but it was definitely under some tall white pines 😆

Gills

I was focused on getting this nice photo of the gills on this mushrooms and realized it was the only photo I took 🙁

Funnel mushroom

These funnel type mushrooms were growing on a downed log. Quite photogenic but not sure on the ID.

Funnel mushroom

There was quite a cluster of these funnel mushrooms. I'm mostly about the photos. I am not good with identifications or education. Some of these may be obvious to mushroom enthusiasts but they are not any of the type I normally collect.

Why did I think of meat when I saw that Polypore haha. Kinda look like meat right? Haha. Such a pretty find. Coral looks awesome too. So glad to see new different kind of mushrooms here. I'm not sure if I will remember them all though. Lol

Lots of interesting ones. I've seen that rough stemmed bolete in Michigan before, possibly an old Saffron Bolete but there are so many subtle variants it could be anything, even an old frostii bolete. I think the last couple pictures show Pleurotus cornucopiae aka Funnel Oyster. Supposedly edible but I would be sure to double check the gill pattern with field guides.

Thanks. I didn't find anything super interesting from a foraging standpoint but there are so many mushrooms out there I wanted to get some photos.

Plenty of those funnel oysters to cook. The shot of the gills one might have been edible if you found it sooner, some kind of brittle gill or milk cap. Or go back and harvest that wine cap, maybe at my new house I'll try and get those to grow in the forest courtyard.
