My last post covered a delicious edible mushroom. The following mushrooms have also sprouted (or the proper term is actually fruited) over the past two weeks with all our rainy weather.
I don’t know what these are but I call them my ghost mushrooms because they are transparent. They grow in the mulch in the planting bed right under the front windows. They only last a few hours.
This type of mushroom grows in our compost pile of leaves and grass castoffs. I love how it’s veil is still partially attached.
There are a variety of mushrooms that fall into the polypore category rather than a true mushroom. I love them because they come in all colors. They fruit on dead wood and pop out literally overnight sometimes.
This one is called Turkey Tails.
Sometimes most of the tree can be consumed by hungry fungi, like this one.
I’m always keeping my eye out for interesting mushrooms every time I venture out into our yard and woods or on a walk. You never know what you might find!
