Title: Help with ID
Post by: Lookn4Fur on October 17, 2010, 02:15:47 PM

Was out checking cameras and tree stands about a month ago and found these.  Can anyone identify them?  I am still trying.

It does look like Honey Fungus but it does not have a veil on the stem. none that I can see in the two pictures. I would not eat them because of this....


These are true Honey Fungus mushroom Popinkies..Notice the veil around the stem of the mushroom....

I don't think they are honey fungus.  Notice how small they were in your picture.  Some of these were the size of my closed fist.  They are also growing up on the tree.  Yours are on the ground if that means anything.  Color is different as well.  Mine were pale yellow to bright on top of the cap.  Yours look more brown than anything.  I did not cut them because I didn't know what they were so no fear of eating them.  Still seaching if you can come up with anything else.

Check out a shroom called the "Train Wrecker".  I have seen it before in a book.. When I did a web search for Train Wrecker mushroom they came up with one but it did not look quite like your photo...Your right too...The tree looks healthy and they are off the ground. As you know when you find Honey Fungus mushrooms the tree that are around the center of them are doomed... If you find a Honey Fungus mushroom in your yard...Your tree is going to die.....What is going to kill the tree is a disease. Now the mushroom is the fruit of mycelia fungus.  So it's not poison. This disease  attack wood.

That is it!  I did cut one off to get a better look and it was slimy and sticky just like that description.  Thanks UB, you are my mushroom hero.
