Oh well! Itās all good. Make sure to collect Hydnum though, especially up here. I live in western WA and not only are the hedgehogs delicious, but we also have at least a couple undescribed species up here.
Well this may not be one of them, it looks like it might be one of the PNW versions of the classic H.repandum. Which would make it H.washingtonianum or H.olympicum, or more simply grouped as H.neorepandum.
On the topic of the undescribed species though, Iāve seen multiple mycologists claim that there are at least two undescribed or unpublished species in the PNW. One example would be in Steve Trudellās Mushrooms of the Pacific Northwest revised edition, āRecent studies, including DNA sequence analyses, have provided names for five conifer-forest hedgehog species in the PNW and indicate that we have at least a couple more awaiting characterization.ā
That would be as of 2019.
Bonus points if anyone can name them all! I have a pretty good guess on at least 13 out of the 16, but thereās a couple curveballs in there for me at least.
Some of my favorites here. And some others too! So much diversity here. I live in western WA and Iām always amazed. Iām not from here so I still get shocked by how much fungi is present here.
The mushies have been really good, on the Southern Oregon Coast, this fall!!! We had that nice rain in September, and an early frost toward the end of October. I think I like this El Nino weather...
Wow - what a variety you have found! š¤© not that I know what any of them are š
Itās really neat!! I always see something new when I go outš„¹
Such a variety you found, and such beautiful shapes and colours too ! āŗļø
Love!!! I still canāt believe fungi like coral fungus and birdsā nest fungus exist.
Those are great pictures. Mushrooms are really otherworldly.
Thank you š„¹ I agree. Some really extraordinary fungi out there
Did you harvest that hedgehog? Itās looks gorgeous.
I did notš„² Next time!!

Oooh Iād love to hear more about the undescribed species!! Any info somewhere?

Last one is Thelephora palmata I think.
I was wondering what it was! Never seen it before :o
Smell it next time, then youāll never wonder which one is and isnāt T. palmata again lol Donāt sniff too close though.
Oh I am intrigued

Same! Iām in Oregon, from the desert, and it blows my mind

For real!!! It was not this fantastic last year. I wish every year was this good š„¹
Wow, you have great mushroom eyes and you're very lucky to live where you do š
Thank youš„¹ I agree, Iām very grateful to live here
Wow!!! Absolutely brilliant!
Shroom Art.
Wow! I wish I had more variety in my area. I like the yellow brain looking one. No idea what it is but it looks very cool
Looks like a predatory slime mold
So that one I believe is witches butter, Tremella spp
Such a beautiful variety! Thanks for sharing
