Winter fungi finds

Orange

I stopped to take a few fungi photos this week.

False turkeytail

I'm not great on fungi identification but I think this is false turkeytail.

Lighter colored

There was quite a bit of this fungi growing on some downed logs. The coloration varied.

End of log

Since I had a few good fungi photos, I stopped and took a few more.

Texture

Interesting color and texture.

Frost on shelf mushroom

No idea on identification other than there appears to be two different types of fungus growing here.

Puffballs

I also stopped at this little colony of puffballs that I remembered from the summer. They all have already puffed but are holding their form surprisingly well this far into a wet winter.

Is it possible to calculate their age by these rims on mushrooms?

🤔 I had never thought of this. I supposed they do indicate growing cycles but I don't think one cycle equals one year necessarily.

And colors 🙂 I was checking some things in the woods before the last storm and kept stepping over the orange false turkeytail. Finally I said wait a minute I should take a couple of photos lol
