LazyPineapple Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 Found the strangest green mushrooms on a hike with my boyfriend. The texture was spongy. They were located in the woods on a fallen pine. I didnt get a spore print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 The shape and wrinkled hymenium (fertile under-surface) remind me of genus Thelephora. But, the only such species that grows on wood is T. cuticularis, and the fruit bodies seen here don't look like this species. So, I think these are some sort of polypore, but nothing comes immediately to mind. If I get a better idea, I'll suggest it. For now... I'm stumped by this one!

Dave W Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 Okay, here's my best guess for these goblet-shaped fungi... Podoscypha petalodes (possibly with moss on the concave surface) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podoscypha_petalodes . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vitog Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 It could be algae that give it that green color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Yeah, that's a better suggestion... algae. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vault Dweller Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 I frequently find what seems to be algae (I figured bacteria growth at first) growing on old hard-bodied fungi like these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
