Early Fall Fungus Finding Foray with Class F

This week we took four groups of Class F students focused firmly on finding fungus. Photos to
follow. Any ID's are tentative pending confirmation. Please do not eat any wild mushrooms unless you are absolutely sure they are not poisonous.

Lobster mushroom

Large one with lavender gills

Suspicious one next to three small chanterelles.

Bolete that may have been colonized by another fungus

Red capped double mushroom

Aborted Entoloma

These were small (two inches) in a cluster. I thought they were puffballs at first.

Entoloma?

Also Entoloma?
