I just got tired of double checking all the different areas to find pics of great shrooms.  Let's ALL post our finds here across the board. From sea to shining sea.

I'll start with my finds. All in active all far. But I'm in north Texas and it hasn't gotten above 58 degrees yet. But warm weather is coming next week. I've been hunting three times and this is all I've gotten in this cold weather

Sorry to be rude, but I think this thread is overreaching a bit. Probably 60-70% of the content of the Mushroom Hunting and Identification forum is finds from the U.S.A. which means this thread would be extremely dense and everything would get sucked in and rather lost. Sort of a MH&I black hole. I bet starting an official Texas inactives thread would help a lot of people though :thumbup:

Psathyrella longistrata



Here is some red Tubaria punicea that was found in Soquel Demonstration Forest this Sunday by martystu.  It's a rare species.



spores



Mycena sp., CptnGarden collection (location:  hidden villa)





I thought this was Craterellus when it was found it but now I am not so sure.  (location: Soquel demo forest)



Mycena sp.



Helvella?

Its weird to see something like this growing off of wood, but all of these that were found were growing off wood. 



Here is some Geoglossum that Civ found.



Not really sure what this is.  May be a Peziza.

top:



underside:



Hygrocybe flavescens









Helvella?







Hygrocybe coccinea









Galerina cf. badipes





Helvella compressa







Camarophyllus pratensis





Pseudohydnum gelatinosum

Ornamented spores



Agaricus albolutescens - These are really common under live oak right now.  They smell like almonds and taste great. 











Amanita ocreata (destroying angel)

Based on the survival rate, these are a whole lot more potent than the death cap



Note the solid stem!







Psathyrella longipes



Albino P. longipes:





Plectania sp.



Nolanea sp.



Hygrocybe singeri







Amanita constricta





Habitat:



Lactarius argillaceifolius var. megacarpus

Phyllotopsis nidulans





Panus conchatus



Location:  Eastern Shasta-Trinity National Forest, near medicine lake but lower in elevation.

Tricholoma vernaticum









Gyromitra gigas - Growing near Douglas Fir and morels. Somewhat common. The locals call them bulls nose.







Nolanea holoconiota







Ramaria







Calvatia sculpta





























Deconica montana









Panaeolus papilionaceus







Xeromphalina





Lactarius deliciosus

These were found in a dry valley with lots of pine and no other mushrooms anywhere around.











I found these in a burn near grizzly flat. The burn area was very large and I found at least 30 patches of morels in the two hours I was there, I was picking almost constantly until the sun went down. Most of them were dried in place, I got about 50 fresh ones and hundreds of dried ones. They seemed to be fruiting best under the pines with the shorter needles (about 3 inches long, maybe a sugar pine). The burn happened about two years ago. Although I parked in the most obvious place and everyone knew about the burn I didn’t see any footprints or evidence of other pickers.











This is morel habitat.  I found quite a few between the western red cedar and dead sugar pine to its left.













This is a blonde natural that I found on Saturday under douglas fir.  It looks quite a bit different from the others I found and its clearly staining red.







Sarcodes sanguinea is a parasitic plant that feeds on mycelium











Amanita calyptroderma

I think these grow with pine

We ate some, I like them but not everyone does. 

















Boletus rex-veris

These were growing with western red cedar






























I found about 100 morels ground around this tree:



These are just some of them



How many morels are in this photo?



























This orange cup fungus (Geopyxis carbonaria) was found in the same habitat.  It looks really boring under the microscope. 







We thought this was a Psathyrella in the field but when I got it home it turned out to be Inocybe.  It has lots of cool spiky encrusted cystidia.



































The total haul was around 15 lbs between two people. 



Sarcodon calvatus

Mild flavor, growing with with douglas fir











Boletus rex-veris

Growing with pine and incense cedar

























Wow.  They never turn out this good at home.



Boletus calopus var. frustosus

These could be confused for butter boletes except the cap isn't red.  They taste very bitter after a few seconds.  Oronito collection. 









A rust





Unidentified plant pathogen

Butter boletes



















Suillus ponderosus being eaten by Hypomyces







Calbovista subsculpta

Bitter after a few seconds

Cantharellus tubaeformis







C. tubaeformis shares the tanbark oak habitat with Hydnum umbilicatum



Hydnum umbilicatum













Mycena sp.

With Russula silvicola and Hypholoma fasciculare

I am not convinced that its a Mycena but thats what the people on mushroomobserver call it







spore print



gill edge  (interesting lack of cystidia)

Or maybe its just clavate.

Cortinarius sp.



Gomphus clavatus







Pseudohydnum gelatinosum





Mycena aurantiomarginata









ID?





Camarophyllus russocoriaceus

Strong odor of cedar / perfume





Clavulinopsis laeticolor



Boletus edulis var. grandedulis

Its not a queen bolete despite the tanbark habitat due to the reddish pores in age.







Gomphus floccosus

These can be seen in the first bolete pictures above also

I made miso cilantro soup with these and it was really good.







Cantharellus formosus

This species is smaller than our common california chanterelle (C. californicus) and has a more pronounced apricot odor.

That's awesome about how the pleurocystidia on C. atramentaria keep the gills far enough apart for spores to drop!





















Also, :willynilly:

There are no Psathyrella with pleated caps, this is probably Coprinellus impatiens.

Quite the collection of pics Alan!!:sunny:


--------------------
Having lived through an existence close to nature, one accepts the small and simple things as most important in life. Sun, wind, rain and snow. The sounds birds make, smells of fresh wild flowers. Love of all kinds, from friends and family, thy self and our neighbors. Beautiful sunrises to the darkest clouds dancing above in the sky. To forgive, learn, share and express. This is the only thing a man such as myself can ask for. What comes as the result is nothing short of the core of human existence, to truly live free in body and mind.

Alan, I take it your posting was a bit of a joke at the thread title?

You do some some awesome pictures/experiences logged there.

Thanks.  That is exactly 3.6% of all of the mushroom pictures I have uploaded.  I would have put more but I didn't want to crash everyones browser.
