Small white mushroom growing amongst green moss.
Tiny little mushroom growing in the moss. Love how the tiniest ones are often translucent.

Tall spindly mushrooms growing in pine duff with white fungal threads growing on the cap.
I saw these along the trail and was intrigued. They are parasitized and look like fuzzy little hats.
I think those are more frequently called a strap-on in the vernacular.
A pair of iridescent sperical sporocarps of Lamproderma myxomycetes one with a stem and the other without a visible stem.
Lamproderma found june 9th near a snow patch on a little pine stem. Shot with a 10x objective. Yuba Pass CA.

Me Too! Cataract Falls trail (which is amazingly green right now).
We all resigned from the pedestrian and bike committee. What a waste. www.marinij.com/2025/04/01/s...
I've been travelling a bunch (to cold places with no mushrooms) but did my first mushroom hike on Mt Tam in a while. Lots of rain but not a ton of mushrooms. I did like this little one though.

My dad's favorite movie. Appropriately cynical I think.
an overhead view of part of the cap of a mushroom that is past it's prime and which looks like a weathered sandstone landscape.
Some sort of Polypore growing in redwood duff. I love how the top looks like a landscape of the American southwest.

Yes. Even when it seems like there are not many out there are usually small ones under logs or other places that are wet enough.
Slim pickings on the mushroom front here but I did find this nice little Mycena on a redwood stump in Roy's Redwood preserve.

Arcyria sp. (maybe Arcyria denudata). These are pretty easy to spot since they are so bright when fresh.

Slime molds
Lamproderma scintillans
Finally got a chance to break in the new camera in the field with a bunch of pros: Alison, Krissa, Francois, Bruce, and Mathias. Haven’t bought a camera in 10 years a big jump for me to go mirror less. So far liking the switch to the OM-1 system. 15 frame on camera stack.
Just like you!
Not a lot of rain here but the Waxcaps (Hygrocybe) are out in force. Lots of beautiful red mushrooms to be found among the ferns.

Nice fresh insect-egg Slime (Leocarpus fragilis).

Thanks!
Gave a talk and then walk on Bioluminescence and UV fluorescence at the #Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens. We managed to scare up some UV Fluorescent millipedes which were a crowd pleaser. #UVF #fluorescence #milipede
Pinkish white translucent ghost flowers on the ground Brown and green leaves
Very pretty example of a ghost flower, a real fungi friend, it gets it's nutrients from the mycilia of the Russula mushroom.

Lycogala epidendrum or Wolf's milk slime also sometimes called Toothpaste slime. I think they missed a marketing opportunity not naming is Scoop of Raspberry Ice Cream slime.

Another little one. Liked the fuzzy cap.

Underside shot of a tan bracket fungus with maze-like pores growing on a tree stump in a sunny forest. A small red figurine with a long pointy nose a leaf sprouting from its head (a Pikmin), peers over the edge of the fungus to see the intricate underside.
Happy Tuesday to all my #FungiFriends
Thank you! I am also enjoying all your waxcaps (not without a little jealousy since I can't seem to find any locally).
Didymium myxos on a leaf which I back lit with an LED light.

White-footed Slime (Diachea leucopodia) sporocarp. White stipe about 1.5mm tall with an elongated darker iridescent peridium.
This is the same sample of White-footed Slime (Diachea leucopodia) I posted about a week ago. But now all grown up, iridescent, and imaged with my 10x microscope objective. The color changes are crazy.

Clusters of bright yellow spikes or teeth hanging down from the underside of a rotten log.
Mucronella flava growing on a log in Nicasio CA.

Crepidotus fimbriatus maybe? Underside of a dead log. Sneaky little springtail hiding in the gills.
#fungifriends #forestfloor #fungi #mushrooms
I like the little tiny ones a lot!
