My First Mushroom Finds! Can You Help Identify?

#26133054 - 08/13/19 12:40 AM (1 year, 6 months ago)

Hi! I was exploring forests of Northern Minnesota, and found a few mushrooms I was hoping you might help identify. I have pictures. They were in a moist pine forest full of ferns-- cool and temperate. (Cool by night, 70s in temp by day.)

First, I think I found a light-colored variety of Amantia Muscaria, but am not sure about it. What do you think? Here are three pictures. (Is this a good kind, or the kind that can kill you?) It has white gills underneath, as pictured, and a reddish-orange-yellow top. The width of the cap was 2-3 inches.

Next, I found something I have no idea about. It's basically an orange, fungal mass and was able to be picked as one piece. Any ideas about this one? It's about the size of my hand, and doesn't seem to have any discernible shape. There were a lot of these in the same area.

Finally, I found a teeny little one. :smile:

It has white gills underneath, also. It's only a few centimeters wide.

Thank you for any help with identification, as this is my first mushroom hunt ever, and I'm excited by cautious. If you have any questions I haven't covered, this is my first time and I'll answer.
