Upper specimen in 9th and 10th images: Golden-eye lichen 》 Teloschistes chrysophthalmus

My first lichen IDs!!

-----------------

It was a morning for lichens today!

I don't know much about them at the moment, but I'm very excited to learn more. Just look how beautiful they are!

I haven't the knowledge to identify any of these but if anyone else does I'd certainly love to hear. 🔍

This isn't marine biology but I'm hoping I have some mushroom enjoyers who come here, if you know what this is could you say? Im just curious to know what it is

Hello! Can someone help me identify this weird mushroom thing that's growing on a stump at my home? We've been watching it grow over the last couple months but we don't know what it is.

Any help would be appreciated!

We found these and are trying to figure what they are

We think they are dead man’s fingers but aren’t sure

What mushroom is growing in my composter

Help

The big one’s cap is a darker grey than what it looks like in the picture, but not by much.

I am in midwestern America but I started this composter with a small bag of dirt from Walmart. The soil is very moist.

So…. I’ve got strange mushrooms growing in my herb garden? Like- perhaps I should have expected this after the fairy cakes at Beltane, but, like—- am I going to poison myself eating the parsley now?

Mushroom tumbler, what are these??

Btw, this is commercial potting soil- specifically for vegetable gardens. I got it at lowes!

Can anyone identify whatever this is that I found? Probably a fungus is all i can gather

And then we came across this beast. Which is a.......

Found these huge shelf fungi growing and spreading white rot at the bottom of a few hardwood trees today. They were brown at the cap, with a white rim. Very tough and big, the larger specimen was about a foot long at its widest point. Porous at the bottom, didn’t get a spore cast. Any identification ideas? I was thinking maaaaybe artist’s conk (Ganoderma applanatum), but I’m really not sure!

EDIT: We have an ID! (thanks to @midwestmushrooms!)

Dyeball 》 Pisolithus arhizus

Also called deadman's foot and dog turd fungus. Can be used to dye clothes!!!

------------------

Some more examples of this strange puffball species from my last post. Couldn't find any younger individuals so these are all quite old. You can see in the third picture how these little spots/cells/nuggets/idfk mature as the layers go up to the brown, powdery spores.

My only lead on an ID is something in the Rhizopogon genus (thanks again to @midwestmushrooms!) but I've yet to find any examples of something with this kind of interior structure.

This one is very interesting despite that fact that I can't look at it for very long. Just makes my skin crawl!

Any mycologists out there willing to help? I've got weird mushrooms in my yard and don't know what kind they are. They're seriously small, and when I search 'tiny brown mushroom' I still don't get anything in their weight class. I used a dime for scale bc that's the only coin I could find. We've got compact granite, so no real soil, and they're spread out all over my yard. Southern California for location. What are these?

Can I eat these

[mikehawk111]

Can anyone identify this mushroom? I live in West Georgia :)

This is a stump from when my favorite trees got knocked done in a hurricane where a bunch of mushrooms decided to slowly take root in its rotting remains
