Here are some of the fungi we saw on July 29th by Stony Brook in Harriman State Park, NY. There were more mushrooms than I have seen in years that day. Conditions must have been just right. I did my best to ID these with my two books on Fungi. I am not 100% sure if I got them right. If there are any mycologists out there who can correct me, please do.
I’m impressed by the variety you found, and also by the fact that you even attempted identification. I give up on fungi too easily, I suppose. Part of the problem is that they’re like the so-called ‘little brown birds’ or the ‘darned yellow composites’ — there are just so many.
That said, the Indian pipes are easy to ID, and one of my great thrills was finding a stand of them in east Texas woods. They really are fascinating plants.
Nice series! I always enjoy taking their photos but few to be seen around here.

Too right. Sometimes I can only ID fungi as gilled or with pores. I agree, Indian pipes are fascinating.
