Fungi and Slime molds (38 galleries)

Mushrooms, slime moulds, polypores....

I am definitely not a mushroom expert, and many of the photos here are left without names because I haven't yet identified them. If anyone can put a name to them I would be grateful!

With many thanks to the mushroom identifiers at iNaturalist for help with identification.
