Mushroom Monday - Still Finding Mushrooms

I'm still finding mushrooms for this #mushroommonday

Look at this giant beauty. It has a common name of elm oyster.

Though its common name has oyster in it, it is not related to pleutaris species. This guy has a Latin name of Hypsizygus ulmarius.

They have a good taste and a good texture. The main problem is they usually only grow one by one so finding enough for a full meal is difficult.

Here is Ischnoderma resinosum aka resin polypore.

I read these are edible if you can find them when they are first starting. Now they are too old but still potentially useful for making a dye for leather. Someday I have to research how to do mushroom dye.

Here is a purple crust fungi called Phlebiopsis crassa. Perhaps a good dye can be made from this too.

Now for some really old mushrooms.

Perhaps it is an ancient honey mushroom but I'm just guessing based on the stem and gill pattern.

Here are some pear shaped puff balls.

These were a bit sparse this year. They are a great edible if you soak them in salt water then peel off the rough skin.

That's all for now, thanks for looking :-)
