I forgot to mention the size of these (my bad), but the yellow ones are too small to be Chicken of the Woods, I believe.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Mrs Chippy, I will keep that address for later!

If you post photos, people will find them and comment (you'll get an e-mail). You can also peruse through a billion photos, as well.<BR/><BR/>Your yellow ones look like a "Chicken of the Woods."

They need to hurry up with that portable DNA analyzer. :)<BR/><BR/>Tom, I never noticed most mushrooms/fungi until I really started *looking* for them!

For #2 and #3 check Phellinus gilvus (Polyporus filvus) or mustard-yellow polypores. Part of the difficulty identifying mushrooms is that the same mushroom can look so different at different stages - in shape, in color and in texture. I'll agree. It's danged hard.Ginhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14923792855029579884noreply@blogger.com
