Any guesses what these are? Spores are rusty leaning orange. No latex, no discernible smell. Growing in potting soil so not necessarily a Texas species, but it must be something that's happy to fruit in very hot weather. Entire cluster is only about 5 inches across.

first, mine.  second by james walton, national park service, with a much better macro photography setup.

The same mushrooms over the span of a few weeks.

@geopsych ID’d these fungi as Turkey Tails, and I have to agree; the turkey-tailfeather-like morphology is hard to ignore.

I would give a specific species/genus but it appears that Turkey Tails is sometimes a lumped name of a handful of shelf fungi of north america.

I’ll let MushroomExpert.com take it from here when it comes to this group and how to tell its similar mimics apart from each other. I personally do not have the patience to try to figure out the exact identity of these fungi in the photos.

Found a cool slime mold at work on Friday- thinking it could be Wolf’s Milk Slime / Lycogala epidendrum?

Devil's stink horns! This was very exciting for me to see. I love fungi, and I love the Stink Friends Gang™.

They multipled quickly, and they truly did bring all the (fly) boys to the yard. They will be missed, but despite my partner's efforts, I hope they grow back soon

20 november 2016: As i said earlier, growing and the ability to harvest food doesn’t need to stop in winter. Growing oyster mushrooms is a very good alternative to gardening outside. Just buy some spawn, feed it with coffee, straw or whatever you have (as far as i know they grow on cotton, wool (and also hair i expect), coir, biodegradable plastic, paper and cardboard, dry plant matter and leftover cooked rice (plain, not salted or anything)). You’ll be able to harvest at least three things. First the mushrooms, which are very good and taste much stronger that when bought in the shop, second the mycelium which you can use to start other buckets or grow bags with (just scoop out a bit of grown-through grow medium and treat it like you did the spawn) and third the broken down remains of your growing medium, which will be enjoyed by your plants.

I’ll give these mushrooms a couple more days and then i will make either sausage or burgers out of them. I’ll make a post about that, because it’s quite a spectacular procedure.

Big Pisolithus someone kicked over!

Absolutely delighted by Central Market's new Mushroom Enclosure

Enjoy this picture of huitlacoche my sister sent me

Also found this very frilly lichen that I have not had a chance to ID yet but you should look at anyway.

Pisolithus sp. We're having a wet spring and these guys are popping up like mad.

Okay, fungiblr, what is this? Sep 22nd, 2018, Austin, TX, growing on a decaying cedar elm. The largest was maybe about 8cm tall. The closest I can get is Xylaria, maybe, but nothing I've been able to find online has that wrinkly form.
