This is my first season hunting morels and felt pretty lucky to eat them with every meal for about 3-4 days straight...ha I learned the basics..usually near a stream and often on sloped terrain. This was true for my finds. This was the habitat for the morels found near my house. They were about 10-15 ft from a small stream that runs through my neighborhood..yeah in the middle of town! As far as near which foilage...I'm yet to identify exactly what they were growing near.
Underneath this squatty tree: 
With these leaves: 
And hiding within this ground cover..mixed with decaying leaves and what not: 
As for the other finds...some of the pics of where I found them can be found within my morel post. The biggest 'shroom was found underneath a scorched cedar tree and on a slope facing southeast. The rest were near the trunks of blackjack oak or on slightly raised areas, almost always within the blackjack leaf litter...I think this area will be promising with more rain...I was able to search about 1/3 of the area before running out of sunlight.

I went out today and found some interesting mushrooms, most notably i found a bunch of wood ears fruiting on a log. I also found some other interesting gilled mushrooms and polypores, if anyone has any id's please share! enjoy the pics, and perhaps youll have something to say?

Images one and two are Peziza, possibly Peziza repanda.
Image three looks like Dacrymyces palmatus.
Image four is interesting and I can't really see what it is. If it has gills then it could be a Pholiota due to the interesting stalk.
Number five and six look a lot like Trametes versicolor, and the last one looks like Stereum ostrea, also known as the false turkey tail.

lol dude, no images one two and three are all Auricularia auricula, jew's ears, or wood ears. they are edible too! cuz i ate em! but im not so sure about images five and six being turkey tails, because their pores are very small and in the pics of trametes ive seen the pores are a bit larger and more well defined, i think they must be stereum ostrea, a good id there my friend indeed!

Actually, the true Turkey Tail, Trametes versicolor has very small pores.
Quote:
Totally True Turkey Tail Test
1) Is the pore surface a real pore surface? Like, can you see actual pores?
Yes: Continue. No: See Stereum ostrea and other crust fungi.
2) Squint real hard. Would you say there are about 1-3 pores per millimeter (which would make them fairly easy to see), or about 3-8 pores per millimeter (which would make them very tiny)?
3-8 per mm: Continue. 1-3 per mm: See several other species of Trametes.
3) Is the cap conspicuously fuzzy, velvety, or finely hairy (use a magnifying glass or rub it with your thumb)?
Yes: Continue. No: See many other species of Trametes.
4) Is the fresh cap whitish to grayish?
Yes: See Trametes hirsuta. No: Continue.
5) Does the cap lack contrasting color zones (are the zones merely textural)?
Yes: See Trametes pubescens. No: Continue.
6) Is the fresh mushroom rigid and hard, or thin and flexible?
Rigid and hard: See Trametes ochracea. Thin and flexible: Totally True Turkey Tail.

thanks for the id help curecat! i dont think this was trametes from instinctual opinion, but next time im out and about on a foray ill have to look more into it, does anyone else eat the wood ears? they dont have much flavor and i think they're best in soup, any recipe ideas 'ere?
