Here are some weird mushrooms for #fungifriday by 
Look at these strange alien shaped shrooms. Perhaps they are receiving communication from a galaxy far away...
At first glance I thought they might be old dried out chanterelles.
But I found too many examples of this stunted shape. This is still a mystery to me.
I found a similar shaped mushroom with a deeper orange color and twice as big. Perhaps this is how the first few above should have turned out...
Maybe it is a completely different species. The cap formed a deep goblet shape. Perfect for catching rain.
Here is another strange beauty. Its hard to tell from the photo but this mushroom appeared to be a deep irridescent blue with rainbow highlights.
Even the top was deep blue. I suspect this might be a dried out lactarius. Who knows what its original color may have been.
Fungus on top of fungus on top of fungus. This looks like a huge Lactifluus piperatus being parisitised by two different kinds of mold. Its a fungus eat fungus world out there.
Perhaps I should label this one nsfw...
This guy had a red stalk with a plain brown cap. All I know is that it is in the Leccinum family. Leccinum are boletes that have rough stalks.
Here is another Leccinum, much larger and even more rough stemmed than the one above.
Who know if this was an edible Leccinum many in this family of fungi are edible.
Look at all the guttation on this polypore.
My guess is this is an old version of Hydnellum peckii aka bleeding tooth fungi. If only I had found it earlier it would be bright white with red droplets all over it. Maybe next year I can find one early enough...
Happy #fungifriday :-)
