Kevin Hoover Posted November 11, 2020 Report Share Posted November 11, 2020 Was out in the rain spreading blewit spawn and found several logs with these growing on it. Will spore print it. I assume the darker one is older. Gills remind me of chanterelles. Also found a meadow mushroom in the yard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 Those are young fruit bodies of Royoporus badius (aka. Picipes badius, and in older field guides Polyporus badius). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royoporus_badius I think that what appears to be shallow gills are folds/wrinkles in the pore surface. Pores for young R. badius are very small, difficult to see. These usually start growing in spring. I think the recent spell of warm weather must have tricked them.

Kevin Hoover Posted November 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 Thanks. I have been checking but I would have never figured that out. Cooking some mica caps I just picked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Hoover Posted November 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 And that also explains why I couldn’t get a spore print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
