i'm not the photog nor ID expert nor experienced user that many are here, but wanted an easy way to chronicle some casual hunts this year so here goes...
the one i meant to keep but lost on the hike out i imagine:
some dryads that were a consolation prize and tasted great...scraped off the pore surface, sliced thin, cooked on high heat--covered--with butter and water, removed the lid and reduced the stock, seasoned with white and black pepper and finished with lime juice just before serving...damn good.
some morels found under giant sycamore and within a pawpaw grove:
some tiny puffs with bright pink spores:
found a shed...head
beware the headless bucks:

Cool shit, bro. The pink spored puffs are matured Lycogala epidendrum, very cool fungus.

Thx for the ID, Kactus! With as much foraging as you do, I assume you eat dryads? If so, any recipe to share?

Good stuff, VaGent. Sounds deelish.
I got you on the morels so far this year, but you being at least two up on ovoids is more impressive to me.

Thx. I put the skull up in that tree with hopes the well-picked-over backbone and rib cage about 25 feet away would interest critters more and they'd leave it alone...it was still pretty ripe and had quite a bit of flava left in it. If it was a month or more later in the season it prolly would've been picked clean...enough to bring home right then, anyway. I was driving my TL that day so no way I was bringing that rank sumbitch home!
I've found two others over the years that were more impressive so I wasn't too gutted about not being able to bring it home yet. I'll check back in a few weeks to see how its aging.

quite a leathery fungus. growing from a log old enough to have grasses and other plants growing from it as well.

Polyporus sp. maybe P. arcularius, but the stipe doesn't seem quite right.

I admit to not even trying to ID it cause i was on a different mission that day so thanks for giving that a stab.
some pics of P. arcularius are a very good match for the top of the cap. yes, the stipe is off for that ID, but the size is off too unless this one was just a super sized specimen.
the cap was about 10 cm across.
