Those are half-free morels.
Nice Jack-in-the Pulpit. I wouldn't have touched that millipede on a dare!
Millipedes are fine, worst thing they can do to you is tickle you with those feet. Now centipedes, I know better then to touch.
Technically, those garter snakes are venomous too but rear fanged and mild.

Went out again today.
#1:

#2: Found these at the base of trees, always down slope and the same kind of tree. I suck at identifying trees so I don't know what those are but the bark is pretty distinctive.

3:

4:

Misc stuff: Deer skull, box turtle, newt, & red back salamander and a purple flower.

Good job!
Thanks. I cut up that squamosus to check the consistency. It was firm but not tough, definitely edible. It's in the dehydrator with the morels. I'm thinking I'll make a jar of dried mushrooms for convenient use in cooking soup, spaghetti etc.
Especially since I haven't seem to be finding a lot of any one species so far.

Now that I have a better idea of what look for and where to look for it at it.

Nom nom nom :-D
American toad, box turtle and that last flower is a showy orchid about to bloom.

Wow spongiform, what a great thread! Where are you located, if you don't mind me asking? You are really good with handling wild things! Sounds as though you know your Snakes though.. really cool. I love how on your first hunt all you found was one tiny, minuscule morel, moved on to the half-free morels on your next hunt and finally continued with more success with each hunt! Congrats! Must feel good finding the natural Morels.. all I can find is landscape Morels right now.

Spongiform said: #7 This was pretty interesting to see. I'm not sure if the mushrooms at the base were related to the mycelium on the trunk so this may be 2 different species on the same tree.
I'm curious what this is? Nobody really chimed in... it almost looks like the start of a huge Hericium fruiting? Probably not, as I'm not very familiar with Hericium sp...
Thanks again for sharing your awesome finds spongiform!

I've been "herping" since I was old enough to walk so I'm pretty familiar and comfortable with snakes, lizards, frogs, salamanders, turtles and the like. Last year I accidentally found lions mane, maitake and Laetiporus and it's really encouraged me to start looking for stuff like that. Plus I just moved out to the country in central ohio and have tons of places to look. The vast majority of the pictures I've posted were essentially in my back yard.

I don't have a clue what that is but I'll keep an eye on it and see what kind of fruits emerge.
