Growing on the end of a decorticated, hardwood log. The only 'occurrence' noted. Habitat: mature, closed-canopy, hardwood forest.
Unsure in this one. Polypore on a dead hemlock. Unusual to me. Dry and leathery. Possibly could also be Fomitopsis rosea
Found growing singly sessile on unknown rotting log in moist mixed hardwood/conifer environment. No significant smell. Texture feels soft and rubbery, with rubber like response to pressure. Measures 3.5 cm x 2 cm x 2 cm.
Xylodon paradoxa. Small conifer branch. Hemlock beech maple cherry. Average spore size 6 x 3.5 microns.
Growing in mixed deciduous, tulip poplar, caps @2-3".
Found in grass by a ginko… by accidentally stepping on it ;_;
Smell not distinctive to me, but my partner said it “smells like a zoo”. Gills light pinkish-brown possibly due to age, didn’t get a picture but some similar ones growing close by had lighter cream color gills.
