Those standing trees are birch polypore, yes. The others, I can't put my finger on right now. They don't appear to be on birch trees.

It’s some kind of hardwood deciduous. Maybe red oak I have a lot of red here and the wood that’s breaking down is real red, anyway yea not sure. Also thanks

 

[SquirrelKing]

Yeah , that downed tree is definitely not birch, lol

 

[shroomsearcher]

You misunderstood me. I thought the shroom might be a Burke's Polypore.

I found a green russula today

Smooth Chanterelles are just starting to emerge in Upper Bucks county.

What has your weather been like. Particularly regarding rainfall?

 

[Jeffrey1findum]

Kinda dry no rain in over a week Perry and Dauphin county hopefully will get some tonight. Only places I'm finding any, not much is around mountain creeks where it's always moist I feel like a good storm will help the tiny chants pop-up to full size.

WPA has been bone-dry. We have chances of passing thunderstorms throughout the week, but I'm not holding my breath yet. 8-10 straight days in the 90s isn't helping. I may try to get out on Friday, but I don't have my hopes up.

Except for one very heavy storm last week (.75 inches) we are just getting some scattered thunderstorms that drop a little H2O and move on. I don't know if the chantarelle spot had any rain. The brook near it is nearly dry in spots.

Anyone recognize these? Found a few this morning. I believe that they were growing from decomposing buried wood.

Looks like Hairy Rubber Cup.

Thank you. They were very rubbery.

Chants starting to pop

We have been very dry in my area too. I hope this tropical depression gives a decent amount of rain tomorrow but it looks like we are just going to catch the edge of it.

My local chant spot got 2-3" of rain the other day and is getting more right now. Going to check in the morning. Hoping for some berries, too

Yea, the rain is really lacking in my area too. Long term forecast seems dry as well. I doubt my spot will produce more than a few smallish ones at this rate.

I am about 50 miles north of you. I haven't even found any chant pins yet. The corn in my area looks like pineapple stalks.

I went out this morning and all the rain did nothing for the forests. Only saw Hairy Brown Cups in a number of spots and a few tiny marasmius. No chants, no nothing. No berries.
