WarrickF Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 Found this strange cylinder like mushroom which when I cut it open had a lot of gel \ liquid in it. Any idea what it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 I think the one in the top photo is Sarcosoma globosum. This slow-growing mushroom begins early in the spring an persists in situ for quite awhile. It grows under conifers, reportedly fairly common in the Adirondack region under spruce. The fruit bodies change in appearance as they mature/persist. Compare with the last photo seen via the link  https://www.mycoquebec.org/bas.php?trie=S&l=l&nom=Sarcosoma globosum / Pézize globuleuse&tag=Sarcosoma globosum&gro=86 The pair in the second photo may be the same species, except very old and weathered. Was there "jelly" inside those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrickF Posted May 10 Author Report Share Posted May 10 Ah, very cool, thank you! The second photo shows what it looked like when I cut i open and yes there was a lot of jelly in the inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
