Tiny little mushroom growing in the moss. Love how the tiniest ones are often translucent.

I saw these along the trail and was intrigued. They are parasitized and look like fuzzy little hats.
Tall spindly mushrooms growing in pine duff with white fungal threads growing on the cap.

I've been travelling a bunch (to cold places with no mushrooms) but did my first mushroom hike on Mt Tam in a while. Lots of rain but not a ton of mushrooms. I did like this little one though.

Some sort of Polypore growing in redwood duff. I love how the top looks like a landscape of the American southwest.

an overhead view of part of the cap of a mushroom that is past it's prime and which looks like a weathered sandstone landscape.

Slim pickings on the mushroom front here but I did find this nice little Mycena on a redwood stump in Roy's Redwood preserve.

Arcyria sp. (maybe Arcyria denudata). These are pretty easy to spot since they are so bright when fresh.

Not a lot of rain here but the Waxcaps (Hygrocybe) are out in force. Lots of beautiful red mushrooms to be found among the ferns.

Lycogala epidendrum or Wolf's milk slime also sometimes called Toothpaste slime. I think they missed a marketing opportunity not naming is Scoop of Raspberry Ice Cream slime.

This is the same sample of White-footed Slime (Diachea leucopodia) I posted about a week ago. But now all grown up, iridescent, and imaged with my 10x microscope objective. The color changes are crazy.

#fungifriends #forestfloor #fungi #mushrooms #slimemold #myxomycetes
White-footed Slime (Diachea leucopodia) sporocarp. White stipe about 1.5mm tall with an elongated darker iridescent peridium.

Crepidotus fimbriatus maybe? Underside of a dead log. Sneaky little springtail hiding in the gills.

Lion's mane (Hericium erinaceus). I like that one of it's names is Bearded Hedgehog which makes me think of a hedgehog santa bringing toys to all the good little hedgehogs. Found inside a fairly freshly split tree that had fallen in the last year.

Fairy Parachutes (Marasmiellus candidus). Not seen any Fairies using them but there is a nice springtail in the upper right cap :)

Tiny little Funeral Bell (Galerina marginata). Taken in a very soggy Roy's Redwoods yesterday.

#fungifriends #forestfloor #fungi #mushrooms
A very small (about 1cm) Orange Funeral Bell (Galerina marginata) growing in the moss on a downed log. The cap has the shaggy fringe and there is a visible skirt at the top of the stipe.

Took this in Roy's Redwoods in Marin CA. iNaturalist suggested it's a Twiglet (genus Tuberia).

The thing, that probably more than anything else that we were inspired by, was the translucency of this world. Everything around you at this level that we found... when the sun shined through them it was like stained glass windows.

Taken mid November after a little bit of rain on the Mickey O'Brien trail on Mt Tam. Not many mushrooms out but tons of these on the pinecones beside the trail. Fir-Cone Mushroom (Strobilurus trullisatus).

#fungifriends #forestfloor #fungi #mushrooms
3 mushrooms with yellow stipes fading to white at the top with white gilled caps growing out of a douglas fir pinecone. About 1.5cm tall.
