Dave W Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Orange polypore is Pycnoporus cinnabarinus. White polypore... maybe Trametes elegans. This types has tough flesh. The softer or more rubbery "White Cheese Polypore" (Tyromyces chioneus) has smaller pores than what I believe to see here. Yellowish mushroom in the last photo is a False Morel. Probably either Gyromitra korfii or Discina brunnea (= Gyromitra brunnea). These two species can be difficult to tell apart. Brunnea usually has a distinctly saddle shaped form with fairly sharp creases along the cap surface. Korfii is usually more irregularly formed, and with a "stem" that merges with the cap in such a way that it may be difficult to tell where the stem ends and the cap begins. But I have seen specimens of G. korfii that were shaped a lot like the typical D. brunnea. There's a subtle difference in spore ornamentation for the two species --requires a microscope.

Adawg Posted April 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Thanks again for your input Dave . I suspected that the last pic was some sort of gyromitra, but the orange polypore had me baffled ! Lol ! Never seen that before . Just amazing what you will see and find, if you keep your eyes right . Love this stuff ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
