Dig Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 Is this possibly a type of rooting cauliflower mushroom? Found 9300’ with temps 48-65f, very wet for past 2 weeks. Found in mixed conifer/aspen forest along a clearing. No smell. Texture is rubbery but not slimy. Has one central stem/root. No pore structure visible to me. Half seems fresh and half seems a few days old. In the landscape photo it was just out of frame to the right along the woodland edge. Third photo shows bottom view note the central stem.

Dave W Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 Not a species that I see in my area, but it looks like the correct ID here. Coniferous habitat fits. Looks like this one is a bit past prime, as the fronds are darkened on the tips. I would trim away these parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
