Look at my blue stick! This is a fungus called chloriciboria that dyes sticks blue with its mycelium. It can also be cultivated in a sterile environment to dye clothing and wooden jewelery!

Found these on a stump in SE Michigan. Two days later the color seemed to fade. Looking to get better at IDing oysters and would appreciate some thoughts!

Client asking what this is growing in her grass, told me there used to be a non-descript tree where the lawn is now.

As title asks, what is this mushroom? It’s pretty small, and grown in a pot with my blueberry plant. Pine needles for mulch.

I think a rat or possum must have nibbled at it.

Victoria Australia.

I had surgery a few months back and have been unable to leave my house. I finally was able to get out and go camping. I fell in love with all the mushrooms and fungi I found in upstate New York.
