The mushroom in your first pic appears to be a young specimen of poliporus squamosus. This is a very attrictive looking species, and even edible (when young). But don't go an munch it 'till you get a definite ID from one of the resident experts

I agree with Koraks. Those things grow on a stump off my porch. I saw them when they were very tiny baby pins.

Gr8 pic ziz, is that some sort of 'painted-turtle'...? This is prolly the fave' of all shroom pics I've taken... Macrolepiota spp. with Limnodynastes dumerilii (aka pobblebonk aka banjo frog), found about 10 km from Melbourne city centre.

sub, It is a Eastern Box Turtle (Terrapene carolina carolina), they are pretty rare here in michigan. I have found and named about 13 of them on a 300 acre plot of land by my house. The sad thing is that the land is being developed for houses next year=( peace ps check out the turtle pics in one of my other threads http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat...t=1#Post2817773

Zi1iZ, Try to relocate those turtles before the land is plowed. I know they are protected here in NJ. I despise developments and developers and wish a poltergeist upon them.

Are they rare in Michigan, or rare everywhere in the US/ actually endangered...? Turtles cope badly with 'redevelopment'!... they're used to the times moving slowly... IF they are actually a rare species, beyond just rare in Michigan then... ...methinks you should take up the plight of those turtles, there's probably some genetic diversity in your population that could really help future conservation of that species should it come to that. Re the breeding season, I wouldn't wait for that to finish before lobbying for relocation, for a heap of reasons... Turtles lay eggs on dry land (except for a couple of exceptions (some of the Aussie snake-necks for example seem to intentionally lay in spots prone to water-logging, and some hatchlings emerge from these nests after water-logging...) Even if the 'development' keeps the lake/ waterway, they will almost certainly desecrate any eggs by way of land-scaping, so better off moving any pregnant females ASAP. People seem to love to lob 'gold-fish' etc in developed waterways, and this spells a quick end to baby turtles... Seems logical that at least half of the population be relocated to the nearest 'safe spot' (re breeding/ etc), and monitored by volunteers from the local herpetology society in your state (is it Michigan ? do they have a herp' society ?). If the entire place is to be 'concreted' and the waterway drained, then the entire population should be moved. Awesome turtles... if there's plenty of them around elsewhere, disregard the above suggestions...

They are infact pretty rare in the lower penninsula of michigan and I was very suprised on how many turtles i have seen in this plot of land. This plot is isolated in a pretty developed area and I am lucky it is still here right now. I will look into a local herp society maybe I can find some peeps to help with the relocation. I am guessing I should move as many as I find since this area is surley going to be mowed down completly along with all my morel patches=(. Thanks for your opions Sub I have been contemplating what to do for a few months now and the turtles say thanks.
peace
