I believe the mushroom in photo 1 is a Birch Polypore, and the ones in photos 9 & 10 are Turkey Tail, but that’s all I know! The one in photo 13 looks interesting.

I didn’t have much luck identifying unknown mushrooms that I picked and brought home. I think I’ll try a different approach and just look for the ones that are in David Spahr’s book. I found Shaggy Mane, which I was very excited about. I cooked it and ate it, but I didn’t think it was very tasty. I’ll have to try cooking it differently next time. I didn’t put any salt on it, so maybe that was the problem. 🙂

Do you know how to do spore prints? I tried it on white paper, but I didn’t see anything, so I’m wondering if you need a microscope to see them.
