 Mid June Mountains 6000'-7500'

I've made a few trips up into the mountains this month and saw a lot of cool stuff.
Suillus lakei growing with Douglas fir. These are out high and low right now.
Suillus brevipes with Lodgepole pine
Can't get this one, seems close to Suillus unicolor but habitat doesn't match up. These were with Lodgepole.
Hygrophorus subalpinus
Psilocybe montana
Inocybe lacera
Hygrocybe conica
Black morels
Discina perlata
Caloscypha fulgens
Wood ears, Auricularia species on subalpine fir
Tremella mesenterica
Nolanea holoconiota
Terrestrial Pluteus species
Xeromphalina campanella I believe
Mycena overholtsii
Mycena species
Heterotextus alpinus
Slimes
Corts and Dermocybes
Clitocybe
Hygrophorus
Tricholoma
Lactarius
Unknowns
PEEEEEAAAAAACCCCCCCEEEEEEEEE

Wow. That is quite a collection of high quality photos. I especially enjoyed the mycenas. Thanks!

Glad you liked them...
I like the Mycenas too.

A lot of great photography and I love the variety of species! Looks like you've got a great spot.
Could the unknown with all the little orange cones be Guepiniopsis Chrysocoma?

I don't think so. I think it might be something around Scutellinia, although I can't make out any "eyelashes" and it's growing strangely, sprawled out like a slime mold. Maybe it's colonizing a slime mold.

Very nice. For that third Suillus, check this thread out (and the previous threads linked within it). Alan came up with S. pseudobrevipes. It's usually under beach or lodgepole according to this.
Very cool pics. I've been finding many of the same things. I need to do some studying of those critters.
Enjoy!

Thanks for the kind words grasshappa.
It seems close, and I'm sure it's a variable species, but I don't think that's it. The ones I found don't have a persistent annulus, and the cap color on all specimens found was bright yellow.

Great pictures. Your Clitocybe is C. albirhiza. Your Tricholoma is an Inocybe.
When do the porcini fruit out by you, and what kind of trees do they grow with?

6. No asking when or where mushrooms, a specific mushroom species will grow.
This includes, asking what habitat a mushroom[s] can be found- or their preferred fruiting conditions.
Actually, I'm interested in the answer as well.

They're pretty common from mid august through september with Engelman spruce starting around 6000' and moving up.

Which species? B. rex-veris??
It is interesting how many different trees one mushroom species can associate with.

Some mushrooms in certain areas fruit as a result of snow melting and thus saturating the ground, which spurs the mushrooms to fruit.
So the snow melts at the bottom of the mountain first, and gradually the snow recedes up the mountain, and the mushrooms climb up the mountain, fruiting in accordance with the melting snow and various other factors.

I don't think so. I think we get B. edulis and maybe something else, but I guess B. rex-veris is a possibility. I'll try to pay more attention to the details this fall.

Yeah, curecat summed it up, although there's a lot of other, more broad elevation related factors, like climate and tree species. For porcini in my area I should have said they fruit from 6000' up. I don't think their fruiting (around here) has to do directly with melting snow, as most of the snowpack has already melted off by late august.
