angeliqueva's Identifications

I’ve seen @aaronjhillard ‘s and @millivedder ’s Cantharellus formosus observations and thought I’d see for myself. Chanterelles in June seemed pretty crazy! I went back to where I had found some last year, and, sure enough, found some beautiful little butter sponges! I feel bad for picking them though, they were way too tiny. I should have left them there and come back to them in a couple of days. Also, I’m pretty sure I’ve accidentally come across someone else’s secret chanterelle spot, but whatever.

Oh, and happy 200th observation!

Lobster mushrooms. Host species appear to be Russula. Interestingly, the 3rd pic is of a russula that popped up just 15 feet away a few days ago and was already "moldy" within a day. Unsure if they're related but they were exceptionally close together so there is a possibility they are.

They were all clustered together. The older one was pretty big. The universal veil remnants were white, sorta fuzzy, and carpeted the cap. This, combined with the cap color, volva, and annulus, suggests A. aprica.

In shade on the side of a building. Didn’t have a lot of time to photograph, I was in a hurry. Cool find though!
It was very scrunched up against the side of the concrete, and was probably a little rotten too. I found a more intact but older one growing in the same area as well.
