Destroying Angel and Common Split-gill

Schizophyllum commune, "common split-gill" (very young ones)

Amanita bisporigera, "Destroying Angel." Most field guides call this A. virosa (or A. verna, depending on whether or not it turns yellow when KOH is applied), but those turn out to be European species. 

Amanita bisporigera's large ring on stem
























Netted Rhodotus and old Laccaria

 



Netted Rhodotus, Rhodotus palmatus


























Something else, I'd say an old Laccaria ochropurpurea

Boletes and Tremella fuciformis with Ophiostoma epigloeum








Lumpy Bolete
Dimpled cap points to Leccinum, maybe.
 














Another bolete, slowly bruising blue






Little jelly (about 1-1/2")

Tremella fuciformis.
























See the little black spines? That's a parasitic fungus that only grows on T. fuciformis. I don't remember how I chanced upon that bit of information. I learned it as Ophiostoma epigloeum, apparently now it's Sporothrix epigloea.
