In Under the Elm, find it in the ClearingβοΈ

A fungus photo a day: found these Gymnopilus ventricosus/western jumbo gyms two days ago. Unlike the tiny things Iβve posted the last few days, these are large mushrooms, hence the name.

A first find for me - tiny 7mm cap - Orange Pore Fungus (Favolaschia calocera) today.

Right in the middle lies a giveaway: a fallen Eastern White Pine cone, revealing the hidden mycorrhizal partnership woven beneath the turf.
