From 5.13.26-5.16.26 my father, sister and I drove from Chicago, IL to Memphis, TN and back. This is from Day 2.
See all of the Memphis trip posts at the Memphis 2026 page.

| Unidentified polypores. The larger ones have strange black nodules on the bottom |
 |
| Elegant |
 |
| Many mushrooms (four three species, at leaast) on a large log |
 |
| Scaly Oysterlings |
 |
| Rotten polypores |
 |
| Possible lumpy brackets. The blue-green color might be Trichoderma, a genus of fungus that grow symbiotically in plants, infecting fungi and insects that threaten its hosts. |
 |
| Three species of mushroom. Papery ones with reddish-brown edges, a dingy sunset-colored toothy lump, and some chonky cream-colored brackets with many holes from bugs. |
 |
| Turkey-tails |
 |
| False Turkey-tail (Stereum sp.) |
 |
| This has got to be the most abundant mushroom species I have ever seen. Virtually every forest outside of Chicago I have been to has had at least one log covered in these guys. Algae will also cover the mushrooms like the mushrooms cover the log. |
 |
| This ones have beautiful shapes, with nice rings and algal hues |
 |
| Real Turkey-tail |
 |
| A very rotten agaric (agaric being a gilled cap-and-stem mushroom with the stem connecting to the center of the bottom of the cap) |
 |
| Rotten polypore |
 |
| Some very orangey polypores |
 |
| Unidentified Jelly Fungi |
 |
| Lots of common greenshield and probably like a dozen other lichen species. Maples have SOOO many lichen species on them |
 |
| Infections on oak leaves |
 |
| Bacterial Crown Gall |
