Thank you! I was struggling with this one. 🤪

Can anyone tell me what these are? They're growing in the soil of my garden bed where I have celery and carrots at the moment. They have gills, but their shapes kinda remind me of chanterelles (I know, they're not). I live in North Florida.

Oh interesting link! I have never come across a reference to Cantharellus quercophilus. I'll get some fresh specimens in the next day or so to add to this post.

I have a patch of chanterelles that grow in my yard every summer. I've noticed that some of them are a different color than the usual golden yellow to orange that usually is displayed. These odd ones are pale flesh-colored, young and old, or just faintly pink. Are they just weird colored c.cibarius? The only other option I see in field guides are c.persicinus but they all look much more saturated in color than what I've got. AND I don't live anywhere near the Appalachian mountains which is where they supposedly live. I'm in North Florida. What do you think? Attached photo shows both types that I gather from my property to show the color contrast between them.

Very cool! Thanks for your response.😊

I've been foraging for chanterelles for several Summers now and for the first time today, I've encountered these (what I believe to be) Fragrant Chanterelles. It was a small cluster on the ground, deep in the woods. They are smooth inside and outside, with no visible veins. They don't smell incredibly "fragrant" to me though. Maybe a very very faint floral smell??

Thank you! Good to know... the spore print was indeed a light brown to pinkish color... before the specimen turned to goo from the worms infesting it ? I will continue to observe. I come across this mushroom often.

I've been examining the gills from some that are growing on a well-rotted tree in my yard. I realize the color might be described as "pinkish". The gills are free from the stem and are crowded. I'm doing a spore print right now to know more, however I think this might be a deer mushroom from the pluteus cervinus group. What do you think?

Okay, I see these often in the woods but feel a little embarrassed that I can't identify them. The deer seem to enjoy eating them. They grow on downed hardwood. Their caps have brown to light brown color. Their gills are the same. The stems are white with no ring.

I wish I'd had the opportunity to take it home with me to do a spore print! But, that wasn't the case. I'll have to keep an eye out for more, though it was one I'd never seen, so probably pretty rare. I could possibly describe the gills as gray, also. More research needed!

I found this very interesting little mushroom this morning on my walk in the woods. Its white cap had a faint pink center and was holding a very thick layer of gooey slime. The edges of the cap seemed to have tan spikes sticking out of the slime. Its stem is yellowish and has a ring. It has slightly beige gills. It was growing on an oak branch on the ground. Small, about the size of a half-dollar coin. I would love to know what this is!

Ah yes!! I believe you are correct. I could not find this info anywhere, but Trametes cubensis absolutely fits the best.

I have been hunting mushrooms just in the last few months and have begun to notice these in my local woods. They are thick and rubbery. The caps have pale indistinct bands of brown and cream, no velvet, with lumpy centers in the semi-circle. I thought they might be trametes gibbosa, but they don't have elongated pores on the bottom! They're normal round pores. I find them on downed trees, usually oaks.
