Hi folks,

I've been checking out the site for some time now. Finally made an account. My interest in mushrooms began when I started collecting chaga this past fall/winter. Today, I went out hunting/exploring other mushrooms for the first time. I wasn't looking for anything in particular. Just a bit of curiosity. If anyone could identify my finds, I would be very appreciative.

Specimen #1

#7
This one was really weird. I don't even know if it's a fungus or what. It was attached to a decaying conifer. I poked it with a stick and it splooged a bit of white stuff. It was sort of spongy. No idea.
