BastedBrew Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 Hello again. i find this single mushroom every year growing out of the same fallen tree (I believe all pictures are of boxelder, based on the green young branches and small leaves). This year I found two growing within 10 feet of each other out of 2 separate trees. Both dead/nearly dead but still showing some signs of new growth. Both mushrooms are growing from knots in the log where old branches have broken off. The photos uploaded a bit jumbled from my phone in the rain today so here’s the “key” 1,2,4 & 7: today, mushroom 1, about 3” across in the cap 3,5,6: today, mushroom 2, a bit larger, maybe 3.5” 8,9,10: last year, same log as #2, but in a slightly different spot if you need more information I can go back to the spot quickly. I left both mushrooms in place as it seems to me that a solitary mushroom can only drop so many spores, and I figured I’d let nature do it’s thing. ✌️😌✌️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylekaz363 Posted September 29, 2018 Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 Looks like elm oyster, Hypsizygus ulmaris. Here is a closely related mushroom: http://www.mushroomexpert.com/hypsizygus_tessulatus.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
