A few years back I took a trip to my home state to go duck hunting. This is usually an annual event except these past few years and the new buisness my father and I started we haven't had the time to make it back up there. We stay with an uncle of mine whos property boarders state forest. I always take the 4 wheeler to the public trails through this forest and see what I can find for mushrooms. Here are a few pics from my last visit. The variety of mushrooms in this forest is unbeliveable. One unique species after another. IMO, I have never had more fun picking mushrooms than I do when I am in minnesota. Why did I dig out these pics?? I am bored, doped up on pain killers with nothing better to do, and there sures as hell haven't been any weilii to post pics of. So heres a few pics from the past. LK,

These pics are much bigger and better than what I am able to post here. This free image host "fontango" is a pile o' crap and automatically changes the size of my pictures.
Also I have identified most all the mushrooms pics above, if you want to guess though, feel free to do so. There is one pic of a possible "hen of the woods" that I haven't confirmed an ID on.
LK,

Yes, I do believe so. I remember finding it next to the biggest moss bog I have ever seen. It looked like a giant field in the middle of the woods in a very low area next to a lake. I walked carefully onto it making sure it would hold my weight. I had never encountered anything like this before being from the south and was being catious. It squished under my feet and water would settle where my foot prints were. It wasn't dirty or nasty, it was clean green sphagsum(sp?) moss for atleast a mile or better in all directions. I dug around a little in it and noticed how deep it was, there was no immediate ground beneath this moss, I pushed a ten foot stick down through it and never touched the bottom. I could only guess how deep that bog was. Pretty neat stuff!
Anyways, I found that Conocybe on the edge of that bog, not in it.
I'm still a little floaty in the head right now from my pain meds, so I think I'll end my stories for now. Kinda hard to type. Probably should stick to reading only today

yep looks like hen of the woods. The only other thing that looks similar to that is black staining polpore. And they only look like hens when they are really young.

It is always growing from the same spot outside my uncles cabin, and I always thought it looked like the hen, but never really investigated.

Nice stuff. Mostly Pholiotas and Armillarias and Polypores (and the Conocybe).
Happy mushrooming!

those are nice attractive honeys in the second and fourth pic of the first post. i'm not experienced in identification within this genus but i think i'll do some searching on the subject in a few.
-------------------- Attn PWN hunters: If you should come across a bluing Psilocybe matching P. pellicolusa please smell it. If you detect a scent reminiscent of Anethole (anise) please preserve a specimen or two for study and please PM me.
