 Las Posadas Forest Hunt 
#15810273 - 02/14/12 07:14 PM (3 months, 12 days ago) |

Went on a quick hunt in Las Posadas Forest near my house for the first time today. Had to go after work so I only got about 45 minutes in before the light went to shite. It turned out to be a short but sweet hunt, however I apologize for the lighting in some of the pictures. It was so dark when some of the specimens were found that they had to be photographed at home.
#1
Habitat:
On fallen, partially decomposed log. Pine?
Gills:
No Gills
Stem:
No Stem
Cap:
No specific cap. Color is orange, tangerine?
Spore print color:
No spores?
Other information:
I believe this is some sort of jelly fungus.

#2
This one I didn't properly investigate, I grabbed a specimen off another log to inspect at home only to realize that it is probably something different.
Habitat:
On fallen, partially decomposed log. Pine?
Stem:
No Stem
brown to orange with white edge of growth
I think that all of these pictures are of the same species, but I could be wrong.
Young specimens?
Old?
Really old? Sun bleached?

The first is a Tremella species and the second is probably a Stereum species.

Thanks, Wikipedia says the genus Tremella are parasites of other fungi. I found this specimen growing on a log on which specimens of #2 were also growing.

Yeah, the Tremella was likely parasitising the stereum. More specifically they are probably Tremella aurantia and Stereum hisrutum.
Your last one looks like Lenzites betulina

I got Tremella Aurantia on Mushroom Observer. I also agree that #3 seems like Lenzites Betulina. The porous surface stands out to me.

5 possibly Russula
6 Russula species.
Smell and taste are important factors in Russula species. Good photos and id info.

Thanks for the feedback, I meant to request some. I found the information on the forum relating to good ID request very helpful, especially the Photography thread.
I am extremely congested right now, but my roommate says they do not have any particular odor.

Your's was a great ID none the less. I was really surprised to hear that #3 was Subalbidus, but after reading descriptions im pretty sure its correct. I didn't realize that any Cantharellus grew in mixed oak/conifer forests.
