A mystery Hydnellum?!⠀ ⠀ I found this last spring and I’m still baffled. Is this a normal stage for this specimen? Is it old? Deformed? Parasitized by something else? It was kind of spongey. 👈🤏⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #fungiphotography #fantasticfungi #fungusamongus #fungifever #fungiaffair #justlookdown #pnwfungi #pnwwonderland #allthemushroomhashtags #fungilove #youfungus #mossandmushrooms #mossyforest #🍄 #colorcontrast #mycology #pnwescapes #pnwadventure #research #decay #hydnellum #polypore #mysterymushroom #science #curiosity (at Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9O9M5BJL1P/?igshid=19dvvqn0nzfic

Last fall, I was out foraging with @wildcraftstudio when suddenly @yellowelanor found a miniature forest of Clavariadelphus occidentalis! I’m pretty sure that’s what this is.. Commonly known as club fungi or earth tongues! 🌎👅 It was one of our favorite discoveries from that day. ⠀ ⠀ #fungiphotography #fantasticfungi #fungusamongus #fungifever #fungiaffair #justlookdown #pnwfungi #pnwwonderland #allthemushroomhashtags #fungilove #youfungus #mossandmushrooms #mossyforest #🍄 #colorcontrast #mushroomsandlichen #earthtongue #🌎👅 #clavariadelphus #clavariadelphusoccidentalis #clubfungi #club #wildcraftstudioschool #research #pnwescapes #mycology #pnwadventures #youfungus #wildcraftstudio ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ (at Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7yf1IOpHQ5/?igshid=291pg4g8fsbf

Cystoderma fallax, sheathed powdercap. Complete with forest fleas. 🤓💚⠀ These were a fun find because I although I had no idea what they were, I could see enough distinguishing characteristics that I knew I’d figure it out.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #cystoderma #cystodermafallax #sheathedpowdercap #prettymushroom #mushroomsociety #mushroomsofinstagram #wildmushrooms #mushroomhunting #mushroomsofthepnw #pnwmushrooms #pnw #pnwonderland #pnwlife #nofilter #nature #forestfloor #mushroomspotting #mycology #research ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ (at Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7TZUlwA5zx/?igshid=2l87e70b0peo

After a long analysis, I’ve decided that this might be Albatrellopsis flettii, blue polypore... but it also kind of resembles the smaller Neoalbatrellus subcaeruleoporus. 🧐⠀ ⠀ #prettymushroom #mysterymushroom #polypore #bluepolypore #bluemushroom #mushroomsociety #mushroomsofinstagram #wildmushrooms #mushroomhunting #mushroomsofthepnw #pnwmushrooms #pnw #pnwonderland #pnwlife #nofilter #nature #forestfloor #mushroomspotting #mycology #research ⠀ (at Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7REk0npXl0/?igshid=1dse7ivewvtkx

Gomphidius oregonensis.
