On oak
Growing on the end of a decorticated, hardwood log. The only 'occurrence' noted. Habitat: mature, closed-canopy, hardwood forest.
Unsure in this one. Polypore on a dead hemlock. Unusual to me. Dry and leathery. Possibly could also be Fomitopsis rosea
I’m not sure if the identity is correct.
Found growing singly sessile on unknown rotting log in moist mixed hardwood/conifer environment. No significant smell. Texture feels soft and rubbery, with rubber like response to pressure. Measures 3.5 cm x 2 cm x 2 cm.
Xylodon paradoxa. Small conifer branch. Hemlock beech maple cherry. Average spore size 6 x 3.5 microns.
Growing in mixed deciduous, tulip poplar, caps @2-3".
Found in grass by a ginko… by accidentally stepping on it ;_;
Smell not distinctive to me, but my partner said it “smells like a zoo”. Gills light pinkish-brown possibly due to age, didn’t get a picture but some similar ones growing close by had lighter cream color gills.
