Taken 4 March 2025 at 16:42 Eastern Standard Time, in the alley behind my apartment complex in full daylight. The adjacent utility pole (a sliver of the line is visible in the upper left corner) is probably the reason the tree was felled.

This one is a study in complex crunchy textures and value and hue variations of grey and gray. (Though extremely muted, it’s not achromatic, being mottled with the faintest tinges of yellow, brown, and green:

I'm hoping for some confirmation and/or information on this dude that's growing in my yard again. A tree used to be where it grows, but the tree never had visible fungi on it. When I did a Google search, other users shared similar photos that were said to be some kind of granadula.

_{I just think mushrooms are neat and have others I've found recently that I will eventually share.}

Recently, I discovered what I believe are puffballs in my front yard! I've never seen any alive before, so I'm relying on Google. The mystery comes from the brown one. (It is the same mushroom as the first photo, where it is obviously paler.) It didn't used to be brown, but there is a brown umber puffball.

One of the white ones is still white, so it could be a common puffball or a peeling one. Peeling would make sense, if that little bit in my hand (the only bit I found) is from the mushroom and not its own decaying corpse. The bit was near the now-brown puffball, though.

I'm really not sure, though. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠༼⁠ ⁠•́⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ⁠•̀⁠ ⁠༽⁠_⁠/⁠¯ Any aspiring mycologists have like a list of criteria to determine a species?

Regular old forest mushrooms growing in the hollow of a tree on the roadside.

Look at those Regular Ol' Forest Mushrooms just growing out of a tree hollow! Found last year - must have been in August? so actually quite a while ago - on my way to work.

We've had quite a warm and dry start to the autumn here in souther Sweden so I haven't seen as much fungi as usual. Still, there are always some of them around and here are a few photos of them.

This is a small Orange Birch Bolete (Leccinum versipelle).
