Hi Denise Thank you for your reply. Actually, Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa was something that I had considered for that particular growth but I just wasn't sure...
Hi Noah, Thanks for the ID. I'm not sure if that is the same species that I'd come across earlier or not. I may have it written down at home. Those were the...
Hey Steve, The odd flat one looks like a burl, not fungus, though burls may be caused by fungi. Any idea what kind of tree that flat one was growing on? ...

It's useful to remind people that our club mycologists are amateurs, not scientists trained in that field. I suggest instead just using the term "Identifiers"...
I'm really just sitting on the sidelines here, because I am not a member of your club and I don't live near y'all... but it soumds like you might be surprised...
Hi David, ... This is pretty much the same thing I'm saying: a trained mycologist is one who studies the science of fungi which is NOT the same thing as being...
Our club places a high priority on knowing "What is it?" and "Can I eat it?". It's an interesting idea to have a tiered identifier system that would let...
I consider David, Jim and John to be friends of mine. I like them all. I want to thank them all for making me feel young again. This discussion reminds me of...
Just another thought about mycologists. Anyone who knows over 400 species, their habitats, features, anatomy, special characteristicis, toxicity, etc....
In response to John's comment, if I were to vote on whether to keep the Club Mycologist at 500 mushrooms or change it to 400, I would keep it at knowing 500...

When identifying mushrooms, one thing we always preach is "get a spore print". The trouble is when we are all on a walk and come back and dump everything on a...
Hey John, The larger mushrooms, you can put the cap, that has been removed from the stem on a piece of paper and then put that in a wax paper bag and then put...
I agree with Jim, in everything he said. Another posibility is to put the mushroom or part of a large one and tape it on a piece of paper in a petri dish....
