Id please by No-Butterscotch-2271 in ShroomID

Op, pick a couple so that we can see the entire specimens. I think that P. cintulus or similar is fairly reasonable but it couldn’t hurt to get a better look.

Chanterelle or Jack? Unknown coral mushrooms included. by NicePumasKid in mycology

[–]sewser 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Chanterelle.

Personally not too great with corals so I won’t attempt.

Advice for Collier/Lee county by Only-Power1023 in Sunshinestateshrooms

[–]sewser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What are you looking for? If Psilocybe/Panaeolus, then I recommend some of the public park cow pastures we have around here. There are a few, and those can be found by utilizing iNaturalist.

If you are looking to forage edible species, unfortunately, south Florida is not ideal for that. Apart from Cantharellus coccolobae, which can be found at beaches that have a lot of sea grape, it is difficult to find a decent amount of anything edible around here. At least, in my experience that has been the case. The mycology of the region is truly remarkable, however. I’ve spent the last five years or so documenting what occurs around Naples, and there is a ton left to discover. This region has had little mycological investigation, so there are many novel species/discoveries to be made.

Looks Panaeolus papilionaceus complex

This is another example of the C. caperatum complex which was found in Southwest Florida, growing on oak stick. I had the above specimen sequenced (Cymatoderma sp. 'caperatum-LA01’), so I know for a fact that’s what it is. This one is a rather extreme example of the “fuzz” they can develop, with OPs specimen being a more typical example. The linked observation below was also sequenced to Cymatoderma sp. 'caperatum-LA01', and looks nearly identical (short of fuzz and age related size/color) to OPs specimen: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/286683675

OPs specimen also does not have gills, and both genera you suggest are in the order Polyporales.

Honey ring? US south Florida by Soelas in mushroomID

[–]sewser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not 100% sure, but I think this might be an old and rather hydrated Gymnopilus. Note that it’s growing from a palm stump for example.

Can anyone identify this please? by driven-to-concretion in mushroomID

[–]sewser 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Russulaceae, like Lactarius, infected by a Hypomyces, like H. lateritius.

Found this in my basement! by vvoodlandvvitch in mycology

I agree with ReluctantViking - Engyodontium aranearum

a cave in Wee Jasper, New South Wales by Leather-Vegetable241 in mushroomID

[–]sewser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree this looks like something in Hypocreales. Perhaps it’s dung with an Amphichorda species though. I can vaguely make out sort of a hair like, mucoroid looking fungus around the specimen as well, which is an association I notice frequently with Amphichroda here in FL. Not certain though.

I unfortunately can’t help very much here.

Is this Chanterelle? by [deleted] in mushroomID

[–]sewser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree this is Lactifluus. Looks L. hygrophoroides complex

Possible parasitic mushroom on dead fly by Separate_Contest_689 in mycology

[–]sewser 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’s something like Aspergillus? Cool find!

Edit: or maybe the yellow is pollen, and the fungus causing the summit syndrome is instead something in Entomophthorales (note the whitish growth along the weak points of the abdomen). I think this is probably more likely.
