Here are some little bulging wolf's milk slime mold nodules.

You can squeeze the nodules and they pop out orange goo.

I found these deformed looking mushrooms in my neighbor's yard. I have no idea what they are, perhaps fairy ring mushrooms?

Here's a smaller mangled one. It's gills look like an amanita pattern but who knows without doing a spore print.

The dryad's saddles are getting big from all the rain. Too big to eat now, they are tough as a sponge at this size.

They look like sponges underneath as well. Hopefully all the rain this past week has brought out more mushrooms in the forest for some weekend finds. Happy #fungifriday

When I was a kid I always had to pop those smoky ones. They grow like balls and when you step on them they puff with dark dust.

We have lots of the those puff ball mushrooms here in the fall. They actually make a pretty good meal as well.

Meal from those round with goo inside?
Hard to imagine...

Oh no those ones aren't edible but the puffball mushrooms are.

Be careful with that "Wolf's Milk Slime Mold"
There is a version that the slezevik makes the cells mutate and leads to oncology

There is such a version. And metastases are spores that sprout in different places. When they start to drive him away, he spreads his arguments in a panic. But the teardrop loves sweets. There is a way to lure it out of the body. At least I read like that

Thanks :-) I've been finding a few medicinal mushrooms out and about. I'll have to make a post on how to use turkeytail.

Please do! We don't see a lot of fungi articles here. Or, at least not enough.😀
