Found a few nice hens over the past week with the boy. Elm oysters popping in good numbers in the northeast metro.

Neat. I don't know if they are in the cards for me this year. Not a sign of them last time I looked. Will go again, sometimes you need a little cold air to get them going. Supposed to be 38* tonight! Looked at my meadow mushroom spot yesterday morning, and nothing happening there either. Been kinda dry and that will continue for at least 3 more days.

Any ideas about ID on these? I know they're not great pics, so I'm not looking for a definitive ID. This wasn't my property so I couldn't pick one and get a shot of the underside, but they had gills. It's been cold here, but up into the high 40s the last few days. I'm not used to seeing anything this late unless it's velvet foot. Could these be oysters? Never seen them grow like this. (

St. Cloud area)

Looks like some sort of oyster mushroom you can see gills running under some of them tell him to rip one off and smell it some smell like black licorice or kinda fishy

At first I thought honey mushrooms, they grown in clumps like that. But then I thought no. Those don't really look like honeys, at least not the ones I find around here, NE Ohio. Not really sure what they are.

Not sure why this didn't post the last time but they are pink oysters.

Thanks for sharing jg. We just received of those Back To the Roots boxes as a gift (the gray variety). Super helpful to visualize the process/progress. Best darn guidebook of all time featured in the background too...

A buddy and I went out and found some turkeytail in good shape along the Mississippi River. He makes a double extraction (water and alcohol) elixir using chaga, birch polypore, and turkeytail. It was fun to be out on the hunt in some capacity. Happy Holidays all, may your table be full with fungus...
