31 This picture reveals why all of my finds from the latter half of this month are being posted all at once. You probably guessed it... i was captured and imprisoned in a Hygrocybe! Oh my gosh... initially it was strange and wondrous but the mushroom imposed a bunch of stupid rules. The no smoking rule eventually got me and a plan for escape was devise... luckily in my breast pocket was a little packet of desiccant left by the dry cleaners, I have never been so happy to see sodium silicate in my life. Yeah, "SIT ON THIS PSITTACINA!!!" I screamed, ripping open the packet and flinging it about like a crazy person! Out in time for happy hour... boy did I relish that green Mojito with added gusto. Ok I'll stop now... more pictures.
32 33 34 (Two of the above pictures don't really belong in the hunting forum but here they are anyway, they compliment the Ganoderma.)

That last picture of the shiny mushroom and the trees and face reflection is probably the coolest mushroom picture I've ever seen. What is that? How do you nominate pictures for mushroom of the month. Thanks!

the mushroom is Hygrocybe Psittacina, the parrot mushroom. they are beautiful [if extremely slimy]
-------------------- 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.

I'm glad you escaped. Those psiticinas, they get you and annoy the crap out of you with there, "Polly want a cracker" bullshit and all. That Herecium is insanely nice looking, were you able to get it or was it too high up there? And them Shittakes in the last pic, cultivated on a log at your place, or escaped into the wild?
As always, great stuff. Only edibles I'm finding are honeys (aka po' pinkeys in Coon lingo), and weiliis. Can't complain about the latter, but I've been hesitant to try the Honeys. Last year there was a Grifola explosion on an Oak in my front yard right when the world series started, so needless to say I'll be putting some police tape around that tree and and chasing passersby away.

Thanks everyone, I'll give a shot at naming these and answering questions.
3 4 5 Toxic man nailed it. They looked like standard puff balls and I picked one just for fun. They were entirely white when attached to the ground but immediately started showing burgundy stains. As you can see, just beneath the peridium is a lucent layer of gelatinous substance... a Phallus hadriani "egg", I was disappointed in myself for immediately assuming it was a puff ball as it would have been nice to photograph a mature specimen. One more egg was located after scouring the forest floor and I'll continue to check back on it.
6 and 7 C. micaceus and C. comatus
8 and 9 Armillaria tabescens. 10 features the former to the left with Grifola frondosa to the right. Xmush, you might be surprised by the Armillaria if you get around to bringing them in the kitchen. I don't really care for tabescens but the more substantial species are often quite good. Unfortunately tabescens is all that seems to be fruiting this year in north eastern kansas.
11 and 12 I'm not sure... its a fairly distinctive looking species but I haven't attempted to narrow it down. Spathularia maybe but I kinda doubt that is right. (Edit 10 24 07 I had it in the genus of Spathularia but it turns out to be Dacryopinax spathularia... fun.)
13 cactu gots it right yo. A couple young boletes who met with tragic ends before reaching their prime after being infected by Hypomyces chrysospermus.
14 and 15 is a relatively large Rhodotus palamatus specimen, the cap diameter was about 15 centimeters. I'm really tempted to give these mushrooms a nibble as they smell really good... maybe it would be wise to try this procedure first.
16 and 17 are of course little Clitocybe.
18 is another obvious one, Hericium erinaceus. It wasn't too high and was collected, however the specimen was lost somewhere. I hope it was snatched by one of the growers present at a mycological club meeting, however it's far more likely that it was misplaced in the mix and put into a compost pit somewhere.
19 and 20 are Gymnopus spp. probably dryophila
21 22 and 23 are Hyrgrophoraceae of some sort
24 - 31 as someone pointed out are Hygrocybe psitticina... at various stages of development.
32 Ganoderma lucidum
33 and 34 are Shiitake grown here at Indolence Farm INC. Wrong forum but they did fruit naturally without being shocked... I though it kinda neat they were coinciding with the Ganoderma.
35... what? some kind of Mycena I would guess... neat little things.
