Some pretty interesting finds, especially for how dry its been.

1) Found on decaying wood on the forest floor. Might be a classic polypore shape that just formed oddly?

2) Possible Slime Mold. Found on well decayed stump. I didn't touch it but I've seen something real similar in the past that disintegrated into powder when touched.


(this last picture was taken on a totally different rotting log, but looked like it may have been the same species in a different stage. same size/habitat type)

3) Found mostly attached to a piece of wood, but had a firm hold on a sprig of cedar needles. A slime mold I've never seen before. Was very exciting to find but I doubt anyone will be able to ID it :sad:



4) The "psuedo oyster," only it has pores instead of gills. Fruiting out of the side of a fallen log, was douglas fir if I remember right.






And a plant just in case anyone knows it. I'm not used to seeing berries I don't know.

Man I've got everyone stumped I guess. I really only wanted to know the ID of #1.

those berries at the end are called baneberries if anybodies interested. They can be deadly poisonous

#1 maybe Phaeolus schweinitzii, the dyers polypore???

#2 is Fuligo septica, the "dog vomit slime mold"

I think you're definitely right on #2, which I'm very grateful for, been curious about that guy for a while now.

You also seem to be correct on #1 but its harder to tell. There are some other malformed fruits on google images that look real similar to mine though :thumbup:

thanks a ton!

I think the one you found is pretty young.

From mushroom expert: "Old specimens of Phaeolus schweinitzii can cause confusion, since they are often no longer velvety and lack any hints of the interesting yellow and orange shades they displayed in their youth."
