Growing on a rock. Hymenium smooth.

Unpleasant odor. As you can see from the leaf litter, both oak and pine are present.

Probably T. terrestris, but rather small.

Attached to pine root

Caps 1-2.5cm, small, odorless, without pores. a guess as epithet = maybe T. caryophyllea? - I believe these are Thelephora. Growth in forest with mostly Pinus.

Directly under hemlock.

Beech, oak
Growing through thick leaf duff and on well decaying hardwood

It is trying so hard to be a proper mushroom

Growing up and around everything in the area. Brown spikey spores point toward Thelephora.

Cantharellales "sp-IN01"

Only matching seq is an environmental soil sample from IL.

Raw taste spicy when held on the tongue, but not lingering. Past experience tells me that they do not taste spicy when cooked. Nearby trees include sweetgum, oak, pine, chokecherry.

Growing in mossy yard adjacent to mixed wood forest. Raw taste test spicy on the tongue. No discernable odor. Will update with trees and micro.

On the stems of Cantharellus.
