This is the same stump as the sprouting Mycelium.
Here is the same mushroom from my last post but 3 days later and photographed from the other side....
Does anyone have any idea what this is?...
Nvm. These are wooly oak galls. I tried deleting the post, but Jerboa won’t let me. Mods, you can remove if you want.
Would anyone happen to know this one?
Seen many puffballs in this area, but never like this. Today they were everywhere. https://mander.xyz/pictrs/image/418b22fb-24f0-4a7f-9f9b-1432ce55ca9f.jpeg

I'm in a new place this year and have only been finding puffballs. This was pretty exciting.
Found a big one this time. It’s supposed to be edible but doesn’t sound to tasty and is supposed to be gathered young....
