Pink mushrooms found (PICS)
    #2715578 - 05/22/04 06:07 PM (19 years, 10 months ago)

I became very inspired by Mescalatos post earlier this week to find some tiny mushrooms.




And today I found these very unusual fruits during my mushroom hunt in Washington State.



I have never seen a mushroom like this before so I squeezed them to see what the texture consisted off...out came a wad of Pepto Bismal. I had fun finger painting...
No offence to George, but I needed him for perspective....



A bit further down the trail, I found these. I?m not sure what they are and will post the ID A-H info later after spore prints and I dry off. Several inches of rain fell today. Early guesses are welcome.









Here is a habitat photo.... It rained like hell during this entire mushroom hunt. Check out the low clouds...

Beautiful pictures! I'm betting you'll get lavender spores from those white mushrooms.. I'm betting some sort of oyster mushroom.

Your pink things are a slime mold, probably Lycogala epidendrum. They're technically not mushrooms, although they are fungi. They live a significant part of their lives like an animal, moving about the forest floor in search of food. The pink bodies are fruiting bodies - they darken as the spore mature.

The Oyster Mushrooms are probably Pleurotus pulmonarius.

Great photos.

Happy mushrooming!

Slime molds are, bluntly put, half amoeba, half fungus. They do have a capability to move about.

How can these "move about the forest floor."  Please explain...

ps.  thanks for the comments all.  It was raining so hard that I almost chose to keep the camera in my pack all day.  Getting mushroom photos isn't worth a $400 camera.  Well, then again...maybe it is.

The form you're seeing them in is one that resembles a relatively normal fungus. But for much of their lives they resemble giant amoebas (the largest slime mold plasmodia, the stage of their life like an amoeba, can be several feet across) that slowly move around on the forest floor digesting organic matter. When conditions are right they change form drastically and look like mold, puffballs (like yours), or even dog vomit (try a search on Fuligo).

Technically, they aren't actually fungi at all, they've been put in Kingdom Protista. But traditionally they have been studied by mycologists because of their resemblance to fungi when producing spores.

Here are a few links to interesting articles on slime molds. With a magnifier or microscope they are some of the most interesting living things in the world.

Fantastic pics Stymee, would you be able to post those 'tiny shroom' (or nearly shrooms!) ones in the 'great shroom olympics' thread ? And can someone advise as to whether those oysters are edible... (not PA, just edible...) ? Most oyster shrooms are aren't they, or am I wrong about this ?

Slime molds are protists. They are Protomycetes, not actually grouped as fungi. The reason they are grouped as fungi-like is the fact that they, as well as fungi, perform extracellular digestion. Difference is, fungi have cell walls made of chitin; Protomycetes do not. I may be wrong on this call so tell me if I am.
