Lets unfuck this thread.
Finally got out in the woods Sunday.

“Bear corn” likely Conopholis americana a plant that parasitizes fungus instead of using chlorophyll. I know of two plants that do this, the other being Indian/ghost pipes.

Ghost pipes with a bee visiting (excuse the quality on this one, from my sisters instagram because she took this original)

A huge colony of tiny mushrooms taking over a stump

A single mushroom sitting atop a mossy log. Likely an oyster mushroom but because he was solo, I left him as he was.

Russala species. Still very young and bright. Hard to identify specifically without lab grade tools.

More mushrooms that fit the bill for oyster mushrooms. These ones left me skeptical though as I couldn’t detect any anise~y or fishyness. Possibly “angel wings”

Perplexed by this one. Amanita family. Maybe crenulata. If so, poisonous. High chances you would become very ill from consuming this.
