Mushrooms and other rainy things of Stowe Vermont

[urbpan]

Like most of the things in this post, these mushrooms are unidentified. They are polypores--which is a bit like saying an animal is an arthropod.



Turkey tails, Trametes versicolor, ascend a wet stump in a helix.


An alarmingly realistic wooden toy M-16 rifle.


Another polypore, a hoof-shaped one growing from a firewood pile.


A lovely but colorless bolete.


Bright color provided by orange hawkweed, Pilosella aurantiaca, a wildflower native to northern Europe.


A lovely little wet mushroom by itself in the front mulch bed.
