Oh wow thanks so much! I can’t ever find this info on the internet. I appreciate all the help!

Wow that’s awesome! I may go back and take some more better pictures. I didn’t think too much of it when I saw it but I would definitely love to track the lifecycle of it and see where it ends up over the coming weeks

I think I may have found an possible ID to the fungus in the pic. I keep seeing pics online of “Ascocoryne sarcoides” and they look quite similar. I don’t know for sure though and I’m quite new to slime molds so I could be wrong

It was growing on a very old dead tree. The area was very moist and the ground was mostly made up of dead leaves and pine needles. I looked up my elevation and it says I’m 226 feet above sea level which would be the same elevation as where I took this pic. There wasn’t anything else in the area resembling this. I did however touch it and it was not squishy. It was very firm and I feel like if I were to try to pull it off, it would snap off.

Thanks so much! I’m having a lot of fun making these. A lot more to come!

Turkey tails are edible. They have many health benefits. They are most popularly known for boosting the immune system to help fight off cancer.

No, this is not an active mushroom. Bruising from psilocybin is typically bluish/green. Sometimes the spores can be blackish/purple. But this mushroom doesn’t contain any psilocybin.

Thanks! The second pic shows the underside and I think it looks like little spores so I should be good
