My wife and I hiked the Illinois Canyon in #StarvedRock State Park today.
We usually visit in the fall, winter and spring. This is the first time in the summer.
After a few days of rain, the #fungi were out in full force. I'll post pictures as my wife and I identify them.

To end this thread on our hike into the #IllinoisCanyon at #StarvedRock State Park, here are the Turkey Tails (Trametes versicolor). There were lots and lots of Turkey Tails.

Here are a couple of fungi we found that I have no idea what they are. The yellow one might be Dog Vomit slime. Any help would be appreciated.

In one patch of rotting logs and soil, there was the same type of mushrooms in various states of development.
I think they might be Scaly Inky Caps (Coprinopsis variegata).

Shelf polypores on a log. They look like pancakes. Shelf polypore with a very thick white stem on rotting wood.

More #fungi from our hike in #IllinoisCanyon earlier this week with two cups on the same log:
- Hairy Fairy Cup (Humaria hemisphaerica) the larger pale white cup
- Eyelash Cups (Scutellinia scutellata) multiple red cups below it

On a log is a large pale cup mushroom in the center of the photo. Below it are several much smaller red, flat, and round mushrooms with 'eyelashes' around their periphery

The other fungi on the log is probably a slime mold--possibly the tapioca slime mold (Brefeldia maxima).

The yellow mushrooms on the tree seem to be Golden Oysters (Pleurotus citrinopileatus) in various stages of development. #StarvedRock #IllinoisCanyon #Fungi #MushroomTwitter @fungiwithbengi.bsky.social
