Oregon Coast Wild Mushrooms

I'll post my wild local mushrooms here. Please feel free to do the same. All the mushrooms in this first post were found within 1 mile of my home.
Here are some oysters:

Orange Jellys

Maybe a Turkey Tail, let me know what you think

Another like the one above but different coloring, also primordia and small maturing one

And I liked this guy too. Was surprised by the toothy texture when I looked at the pictures. From below first and from above second.


There were many others that I didn't post because it was raining and the camera lens was smudgy. Nice weather this weekend, more to come.

Oh.. and if anyone wants me to collect any of these for identification or propagation, let me know, glad to do it.

 

Thanks!

 

Great pics Pistil.
Makin me anxious to hit the woods!!

 

Looks like the weekend will be nice in my area. I'll be out and about in between pasteurizing vat after vat of substrate.

 

about the turkey tails ... really looks like them but they could be Stereum sp. too. Which are harmless. It all depends if they had pores or were smooth on the bottom. turkey tails have the former.

 

Thanks Fry, pores on back. So Stereum sp.

 

sorry for the confusion. if there are pores on back its Trametes

 

Was having a tough time with the camera, finally found a new cord.

This one reminds me of the pics I've seen of tigers milk but I'm in the wrong area.




Cute little birds nest looking guys


A big shelf with blue tinged tops. The color isn't well represented in the pic.



A hungry slug

Random little brown mushroom

Random little yellow mushrooms and the bottom of same. Again the color isn't true here. They were very yellow and the gills were yellow with a greenish tinge.


Deadfall alder with attractive orange brackets

And lastly a baby oyster.

 

Beautiful pictures !

Nice photos, thanks for posting

 

Great share; absolutely love the bird's nest photo!!

 

Wow, thanks! Impressive knowledge. Sent me down a 'Google-hole' chasing the names you provided and each one took me further down the hole. There is so much to learn. I love the endless nature of this hobby.

Redcat, Michelle, I took about ten pics of that bunch of birds nests before one was finally in focus, so it's mostly luck but I'm glad you like it just the same

 

You're welcome! Looking forward to more of your posts! Glad you are enjoying your rabbit hole Google fest.

 

Looks like the rain woke up the locals. Went for a walk after work and found a bunch of oysters last week. Actually got lost for a short time. The problem with looking for oysters is they live on the dead trees. The best way to find a dead tree is to look up and find the ones with no leaves or broken tops/branches. Consequently I walked myself in a crazy line from dead tree to dead tree for a couple hours and all the sudden it was dark. Oops.

Today I took a walk with my granddaughter and found these and hundreds more. A loose tally of the 'oyster bearing' trees on this trail is somewhere around twenty. There seems to be two varieties so far. There's this one pictured that grows on alder and another that is growing on a dead spruce or fir, not sure which but definitely a conifer. The conifer variety has a brownish colored cap and is somewhat larger and wavier at the margin. I didn't go to that tree today but when I do I'll click a pic.






The moldy ones are from spring. They dried there on the tree and molded as soon as they got wet.

 

It's wet!

 

Great pics, thanks for sharing! I went reading about them too. Awesomeid work!

 

More fun. This first one shows up on super punky logs, primarily conifer. It is prolific, but small.


This guy grew up out of the ground, most likely from the root of a Sitka spruce tree. The color doesn't show up in the picture but the margin is quite yellow.



Delicate one


Nice looking group here

A different group

So many oysters. I found probably fifty trees today. Next time I'm bringing my ladder. One stand had five large trees all in one spot.




I got so distracted I forgot my granddaughter was being dropped off and was "Lewis and Clark"-deep in the woods when I got the phone call and I had to run out.

 

gotta admit, sitting here in the hood, i am so jealous of you being able to walk out into this

 

I don't mind living in the sticks at all. When I was younger I wanted nothing more than to get the hell out of here to a population center, which I did, but now... there's nowhere I'd rather be.
