Very tasty, did not eat the slug.

They were found in Michigan a couple weeks ago.

Wasn't able to get a decent photo of the spores. On average they measured 46 x 2um and even in the eyepieces it was hard to make out any details. I did get a photo of some asci with the spores coiled up inside of them. You can actually see a free floating spore in this photo, the pineneedle shaped thing to the lower left of the scale bar, upper right of the central ascus. ... read full post

Sorry, no pictures of the underside. I was in a hurry and didn't have time. They shriveled up by the time I got back to them (a few hours later).

I listened to a lecture once and the presenter mentioned that these mushrooms aren't actually gilled and are actually pored mushrooms in the order Boletales that evolved gill-like structures.

I found this nice looking COTW while kayaking the other day growing on a downed tree in the middle of the river.

I thought this was a Hygrocybe at first and was very surprised that the spore print was brown. I love the little grooves on the stem.

Good morning to all. I have a Japanese Cherry tree, here in North Mississippi, that has a few hitchhikers. Do any of you fine folks know what this is by any chance?
Found a few weeks ago, always wondered when these came up in my area.

Spore photo taken at 600x magnification on a Swift 380T.

Update: The first photo was day 3 of growing. We harvested on day 4, and got 255 grams of tasty snack! https://leminal.space/pictrs/image/09e3a481-b85d-4c30-a2ca-56ffd4b76fd2.jpeg
Update on the slime mold. Shout out to FartsWithAnAccent for the suggestion to film it.
