Fall 2025: Not Quite A Splendour of Fungi

Barbara and I have taken a few photos of the various fungi we have in the yard this fall at the start of November. So far nothing like the number and variety we had last year. But…

And once again we have not identified the variety of any of them.

The pics were taken by Barbara November 3rd.


These big ones with the basin like tops are out back along the east wall of the garage under a hemlock. Hence the needles in there basins. The clump of three are right by the side door to the garage and were the first ones we noticed.

This variety ranges from 10x12 cm to 18x18 cm in width and 7 to 9 cm in height.

Barbara liked this one because of all the holes in the cap. Someone chewing away?

The following photos were all shot in the bed out front. The one, that last year, had the incredible number and variety of mushrooms and fungi.

The next two are a mushroom variety on the west side of the bed, just south of the cedars and east of our tomato bed.

And, that's it for now.


The following photos were taken November 10-14.

Those are individual mushrooms growing in the stump.

While I was showing a friend the various fungi in the yard on Tuesday, 2025.11.18, she pointed a couple white fungi clumps on one of the stumps. Barbara and I had not see them before that moment.
