Colombian Rust Spore, Psilocybe cubensis. A strain with mutated spore pigmentation. The brownish spora can easily be observed on the gills and deposits on caps of nearby mushrooms. Spores available for microscopy @ sporeworks.com

Large stereum cluster. Also has concentric bands of color and is ripply.
“Curly” fan shaped stereum mostly reds & orange
Back side of stereum is smooth; stereum is a crust fungus with neithee gills or pores. I don’t have the science to explain how it spores.
Stereum colony being consumed by a golden ear fungus, which is also a look-alike for Witches Butter jelly fungus
Not turkeytails. Stereum. More ripply…📷🍄 #sporepunk #fungfriends #mushrooms
After four weeks without rain, yesterday’s downpour made these mushrooms happy. #fungi #fungfriends #hiking #photography
