I was up at Lake Luzerne, NY in the Adirondacks to do a fall mushroom foraging class this last weekend. I'm a beginner mushroom hunter and I'll be honest, I don't remember the names of everything we found, but here are some pictures. Cortinarius semisanguinous.  Something that wasn't a ganoderma.  False turkey tail. The underside was nice and parchmenty.  Very pretty gilled mushrooms that were not honey mushrooms.  Look at this weird, shaggy fungus!  I found this huge, young hericium and ate it.  A handsome gem-studded puffball sporulating hither and yon. There are tons of these suckers out there right now (and their tan cousins, and of course the poison pigskins and all those earthballs).  Cortinarius iodes. We also saw Cortinarius violacious and even some real blewits (alas, too buggy to eat).  I forget what this was (aside from not a turkey tail, and not a false turkey tail), but he was a handsome lad growing from the middle of the trail.  I love jelly fungi.  Painted suillus, if I remember right.  A young Amanita muscaria.

extra stout posted:That sounds like an amazing event, do you remember if that's hericium erinaceus? I've still never seen hericium in person but it looks more like 'lion's mane' than 'bear tooth'. Is the light brown color normal in young fruits? Normally it's the old, very cool either way. We thought it was americanum, but it was pretty young. It was much more pink in person (that photo was taken under yellow-tinged lights). This is the first time I've actually found one myself, and the others I've seen have all been very white to slightly cream-colored! (It was delicious.) I haven't taken pics yet because my camera batteries need charged, but today I found Cortinarius violaceous, pear-shaped puffballs, and way too much hen of the woods! I also found another destroying angel!

 It's maitake time! Also found more small puffballs, some shaggy looking black boletes I haven't identified, amanita muscaria & citrina, and a giant puffball in a local park during a walk today. Gave the puffball away as I already received one as a gift myself this week. Oddly enough I also found something that looks like fresh ganoderma growing on an oak tree. It's still growing so I'm gonna wait a couple days and see what happens.

the yeti posted:That sounds like old man of the woods or a relative! Seems to be a relative of the old man; rather than having the old man's white-ish base and dark scales, the whole thing is black or near as. I'll try to find more today after work.
