Here are a few fungi I found on my evening walk for this #mushroommonday

These three little fellows were right in the bark path in a spruce forest area of the arboretum.

Fortunately no one stepped on them. I believe this is conocybe alpipes and it contains some toxins though no one has ever been recorded dying of these before.

I found some edible oysters, sadly these were too old and buggy to be harvested.

Here is a really tiny polypore of some kind. The cap was only about the diameter of a pea. I have no idea what it's Latin name might be.

Now for a large and old polypore. Maybe its a species of ganoderma or possibly a Fomes fomentarius.

Now for some turkeytail.

And some false turkeytail.

And finally some really old dead crumbly turkeytail. This stuff is super common around here. It is a nice medicinal with anticancer properties in it.

Here is a strange purple tinted polypore. I suspect it might be related to
Trichaptum biforme.

Now for a random spike butted spider on a spider web. I run into these guy's webs all the time while mushroom hunting and end up feeling them crawling on me. They are harmless and one of the most common spiders in the forest Spiny Micranthena (Micrathena gracilis).

That's all for #mushroommonday thanks for looking :-)
