Todays hunt (food and medicine)

So I went out for a stroll today, and managed to find me a few interesting fungi.
First up is a random russula. Its pretty much the only one I saw today, the season is coming to and end for sure.


Up next is a nice clump of late fall oysters (Panellus serotinus)

The best part of my find this time around was Ganoderma tsugae. Found stumps of stems before, someone must have gotten to them before me, but not this time!


This is the haul for today



I also found some Hydnum species. I think one might be repandum, and one umbilicatum. I'll try to get some better pictures up if they exist, but I do believe them to be different. One had a longer stem, not quite as fleshy, with

Anyways, happy hunting

That one could be Russula cremoricolor.
If you feel the season is coming to an end, you definitely need to head south. You can keep traveling and continue the season into February or March, then head into the sierras April - July, and by that time it will be almost time to head back to Canada.
Looks like you also have some Craterellus neotubaeformis nom. prov.
Your Hydnums look like H. umbilicatum due to the small size.

Wouldn't that be the life! just hiking around all them time mushroom hunting. One day maybe, but us non expert working folk must work, until we become experts! Some day maybe.
Wouldn't Craterellus neotubaeformis nom. prov. indicate West coast? I'm over here on the East coast. So probably just tubaeformis for here 
You are probably right about the Hydnum. I read that H. repandum can get quite large compared to the umbilicatum.
I have to get a better microscope. Mine is a shitty one that ran me 40$ I mean, its fun to play with, but its not the best.

Craterellus tubaeformis is described from Europe so it is likely that whatever you have on the east coast is different.
As for a good cheap scope, the Amscope B-100ms works well and only costs $200.
