Cambridge Area 20120925

Blewits (Lepista nuda) started pretty strong in this area. Very good edible, common and easy to recognized  Color may vary greatly, from almost whiteish to tan-brown, but to me the smell is most characteristic. They can be in coniferous or deciduous woods, but always buried in debrief (leafs, needles)

 Several Pestle shaped puffballs (Calvatia excipuliformis)

 This looks to me like Pholiota destruens (Destructive Pholiota); I'll try and check later phase, when cap is more distinctive.

 The whole fields of Mica cap (Coprinellus micaceus)

 Unususal number of Enteloma abortivum in unaborted form (charcteristic pink spore print is visible on some of the lower caps)

 IIchoderma resinosum (Late Fall Polypore) going strong, although it is not late fall by any standard yet. On the spots it was heavily picked.

 Still some Hericium americanum around.

Some HUGE tooth fungi, but I ma not sure what it actually is. The candidate size- and color-wise is Scarodum scabrosus (Bitter Tooth), but literature claims that it grows under conifers - this one was under beech

 Another strange tooth fungus, this one on the dead log ?????

 As expected at this time of the year, abundance of Honey mushrooms.

 Agaricus Silvicola, but little over the prime.

Still some Lactarius deliciousus around, but pretty dry and very buggy.
