  1. This most likely is Lycoperdon perlatum, the Common Puffball. These fungi are about an inch or so in diameter. Another common name that I particularly like is Devil's Snuff-box.

    They were releasing spores, which looks like smoke arising from the hole at the top, but I was not agile enough to poke them to release spores and take the picture at the same time.

  6. A new post about sand-hoppers (with some remarkable research on them) and some of the fungi starting to emerge here in the Pacific Northwest.

    Here's a photo I got of *Cyathus striatus* aka Fluted Bird's Nest Fungus.

  11. So many mushrooms are tricky to ID but one of the easier ones is the Chicken Fat Mushroom [Suillus americanus].

    * reddish brown blotches on a yellow cap
    * slimy or wet/sticky appearance
    * found near certain pines, especially Eastern White Pines

    Here’s one of the largest fruitings I’ve found.

  16. A bunch of these guys have popped up in the middle of and alongside the Pierce Road through Harvard Forest. We are supposed to be getting a lot of rain over the weekend; I wonder if more fungi will be popping up after that.
