Mushrooms, Fungi, Lichens, and Mosses

Along with wildflowers, I see quite a few varieties of mushrooms, mosses, lichen and fungi. All were shot in the southern Appalachian Mountains. I don't know many of the IDs, so feel free to help me out if you spot one you know. Thanks to everyone who has helped with some of the ID's and especially thank you for all the kind comments!

I have a yellow moss or fungi that I need your help identifying, if you can.

I love your galleries... it reminds me of the photos I'm always shooting whenever we go hiking. I was trying to identify a waterfall from my parent's photos, but it must not be from NC. I've so enjoyed browsing your collection - thanks for sharing it!

Hello, I just discovered some very strange mushroom growing in a houseplant. They are the strangest things I've ever seen. Bright yellow, like hardened hardboiled egg yolk, or like someone put a piece of rubber glove into the pot and it started sprouting! One is a very slender shoot, plus little nubs all throughout the pot, one that looks like a hand(!) as it sprouts, and then yellow stuff spread all over the soil. Any ideas, anyone? I live in Tennessee but have not been to the Appalachins and don't live anywhere close! Have no clue why only one of my 9 potted green plants would be sprouting these mushrooms. Thank you!

Your photos are wonderful. I can't identify them, but I love the color and variety of shapes they add when I have hiked our NC mountains. Thanks for sharing, Rich!

Mushroom 21 is a puffball -- same one as the picture below it. I forget the species.

Gaby, they are a harmless houseplant meshroom called leucocopryness birbaumee.

Great collection!!!

I have what began as a fig bonsai but is now an enormous plant. I recently found 2 big yellow mushrooms growing out of the soil. Not only that, but the leaves are turning yellow, then brown, then falling off. Panic time! I removed the 'shrooms, & don't want to lose this small tree. Help, & thanx for your attention!

Can someone tell me more about what I call "Spanish Moss"( a grayish, hanging type of moss found mostly in Hou.,Tx. parks). I am trying to relocate or transplant it to the oak trees at my home. Lonewolf9029@yahoo.com Thanks--Don

Hi Rich,

i found a yellow mushroom growing in one of my inside plant pots. it's similar to mushroom #9, has a similar base to Boletus Ornatipes and could be #10 once it grows up. Any ideas? It's pretty but I think it might take over the other plant soon :) thanks

We looked at your website to identify a mushroom we found in our school playground. It was a shelf mushroom

I love the dark, moist places where shrooms and moss flourish. Thanks for sharing these.
