BGKYmushroomguy Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Found this growing on a stump. Unfortunately, I don’t have more photos. When opened, it revealed a reddish-orange mass. Is this a mushroom that has been parasitized by another fungus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vitog Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Yes, this is almost certainly a mushroom parasitized by a mold fungus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Maybe a young mushroom/polypore with a white mold growing on it. Or, maybe a button of a polypore that isn't old enough to reveal useful details. Seeing what you mean by "revealed a reddish-orange mass" could be helpful. I think it's probably what vitog said, a moldy mushroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
