Fungi Friday - Some UFOs

Here are some strange unidentified fungal organisms for #fungifriday by @ewkaw

This first one is a slug eating a rotting honey mushroom. Here you can actually see its little slug lip teeth and some slime gooing around next to its right eye.


Here is a strange one. If I had to guess this one is some kind of milk cap that has degraded into a collapsing structure.


This one appears to be some kind of brittlegill... But I've never seen a white one, there is the possibility it is getting attacked by a white mold causing some white bits to drop around the edges.


This poor bolete is a bit unidentifiable because of its rotted state. The slug is still loving it. There seemed to be some blue green staining on the stem so odds are it is one of those boletes you have to parboil to remove toxins from if you want to eat it.


Here is some kind of hoof fungus that fell off a birch tree.


On the underside it had some white mycelium growing. I'm not sure if this is still the hoof fungus' mycelium or some other fungi starting to grow on it.


High up in the tree I can see three different types of polypores. There are definitely birch polypores, some tinder conks and then probably some artists conks. This poor tree will be eaten up entirely by shelf fungi soon.


Now for some rusty LBMs.


The most unique part of them was their pinning state. They seem to start out spiky then their caps open to a fuzzy copper state. So far I haven't had any luck identifying these ones as most guides rarely show the pinning state and in their full grown state they look like a typical LBM (little brown mushroom).

That's all for now, time for more hours of researching what these guys could be lol. Happy #fungifriday :-)
