Mushrooms, Mosses, Fungi, etc

Along with wildflowers, I see quite a few varieties of mushrooms, mosses, lichen and fungi. All were shot in the southern Appalachian Mountains. I don't know many of the IDs, so feel free to help me out if you spot one you know.

I love your galleries... it reminds me of the photos I'm always shooting whenever we go hiking. I was trying to identify a waterfall from my parent's photos, but it must not be from NC. I've so enjoyed browsing your collection - thanks for sharing it!

Hello, I just discovered some very strange mushroom growing in a houseplant. They are the strangest things I've ever seen. Bright yellow, like hardened hardboiled egg yolk, or like someone put a piece of rubber glove into the pot and it started sprouting! One is a very slender shoot, plus little nubs all throughout the pot, one that looks like a hand(!) as it sprouts, and then yellow stuff spread all over the soil. Any ideas, anyone? I live in Tennessee but have not been to the Appalachins and don't live anywhere close! Have no clue why only one of my 9 potted green plants would be sprouting these mushrooms. Thank you! Nancy

Your photos are wonderful. I can't identify them, but I love the color and variety of shapes they add when I have hiked our NC mountains. Thanks for sharing, Rich!

Mushroom 21 is a puffball -- same one as the picture below it. I forget the species.

Gaby, they are a harmless houseplant meshroom called leucocopryness birbaumee.

I have what began as a fig bonsai but is now an enormous plant. I recently found 2 big yellow mushrooms growing out of the soil. Not only that, but the leaves are turning yellow, then brown, then falling off. Panic time! I removed the 'shrooms, & don't want to lose this small tree. Help, & thanx for your attention!

Can someone tell me more about what I call "Spanish Moss"( a grayish, hanging type of moss found mostly in Hou.,Tx. parks). I am trying to relocate or transplant it to the oak trees at my home. Lonewolf9029@yahoo.com Thanks--Don

Beautiful photos of earths natural beauties. Is there a chance you can give a name to the lichen with the frilly edges, the third last picture of the Mushroom, Mosses amd Fungi gallery? Cheryl L

Hi Rich, i found a yellow mushroom growing in one of my inside plant pots. it's similar to mushroom #9, has a similar base to Boletus Ornatipes and could be #10 once it grows up. Any ideas? It's pretty but I think it might take over the other plant soon :) thanks

We looked at your website to identify a mushroom we found in our school playground. It was a shelf mushroom

I love the dark, moist places where shrooms and moss flourish. Thanks for sharing these.
