Compare these to black staining polypores, looking in prime condition too!

One of the prettiest mushrooms IMO!

I did too. Then I found a chocolate tube slime mold and was blown away. They are cool!

Ahhh, we're both wrong 🤦‍♀️I was apparently asleep when I was writing this 😂. It's Craterellus ignicolor

Nice find! It is rare to find oyster mushrooms without the lil bugs

Yeah, chicken of the woods is parasitic. And saprotrophic. It is infecting the tree. The good news is that it usually takes a long time (its a slow parasitization), so the tree might still live 10-20 years more (and produce the mushroom all that time 🤞). Eventually though the tree will die.

Woah! That chicken of the woods is STUNNING

Ha! Love the volunteer plants!!

Could be - would need to see the gills and possibly do a spore print. If the gills have any green or yellow in them, that's it

Ah that is sad!!

Looks like Leucocoprinus birnbaumii - they love to just show up and show off! A sign of healthy soil

Sure looks like that or in the same group with those pinkish pores

Looks like ganoderma species (reishi)
