Starting with the Hemlock Polypore Mushroom. It took lots of googling to finally identify this one. Polypores have a woody, tough texture. But normally don't grow on the ground with a stalk. I was quite excited to have finally identified it. I have yet to buy a field guide because of all the wonderful resources on the web. I stumbled across an image of the baby one below on someone's blog.

| Ganoderma Curtisii or Tsugae |
They start out looking like this one. This is the image that helped me identify the one above. At first I didn't realize they were the same mushroom. But you can see the white stalk emerges and pancakes out.
In this same area I found a purple stalked polypore. Also Ganoderma. (an old one) Very pretty color tones.
The underside of the cap looks like this
Most polypores are not stalked. Mostly they are brackets growing shelf-like on a tree. So it was quite exciting to find two stalked polypores in the same area.
Next I spotted a very pretty Rubescens Amanita. Known for its pinkish color.

| Lactarius or Milkcap Mushroom |

| You can see the gills here |
Next some Boletes. Boletes always have a spongy cap instead of gills. Here is a Bolete. Boletes are hard to nail down as to species. This may be Boletus pallidoroseus.

Next A Boletus Bicolor trio
You can see by the photo below the underside of the cap is yellow.
More Boletes, these pancaked shaped.
A side view. You can see Copper and my blue handkerchief in the background.
Back in the woods. A baby white Coprinellus or Leucoagaricarus just emerging from the soil.
A picture of Copper waiting patiently for me to finish a photo shoot.
