Walking in the woods today and found several different mushrooms. Zone 6b East Tennessee. This is the first of several posts.
Any links to mushroom ID will be welcome. I've already searched the following and can't be sure of anything:

Here are pix of blue mushrooms. Is there another topic where I should post these?
Thanks.

Please help ID mushrooms in MR log
Comments (1)Hi, Quality could be OK, but to identify a mushroom you need at the very least a view of the lower side plus to these views. Is the lower side of the grayish-whitish ones formed of pores, like a fine sponge? Or is it in folds/gills, or maybe maze-like? They could be: Thick maze polypore; Thin maze polypore; Young specimens of green moss polypore; Or maaaaybe discolored turkey tail - I'm guessing not. The orange ones look like Picnoporus cinnabarinus to me. The bigger whitish one in the 2nd picture could be a Daedalea if the lower side matches. The ones with stems in the 3rd picture could be Polyporus squamosus if the lower side matches. Or decaying Armillaria mellea - honey mushroom, I think not though. Or are they your shiitake? I have never seen it growing, that might be it! The blackened ones behind them could be last year turkey tails. The brown ones in the last picture if they really have no stems (?) could be Ganoderma applanatum, but her lower side is very distinctive and there is a lot of flattish brown brackets similar to her. Generally speaking, you can't identify mushrooms from pictures. I am not bad with local ones in real life. Of course normally when you think you have the id it turns out that for a positive one you need to measure the spores or something......See Moreplease id leaf litter mushroom
Comments (0)Hi, Can anybody ID this mushroom for me. It is growing in leaf litter.The gills and stem are white and there is no ring, I would say it is about the same size as an old silver dollar piece. It is growing in leaf litter. I don't have any intention of eating it. Thanks for any feedback...See MoreNeed mushroom i.d. please
Comments (2)Whatever they are, they are NOT chanterelles. Your mushroom looks like a basidiomycete of some sort. The gills don't look right (chanterelles have ridges, not gills), and the coloration isn't correct for chanterelles either. Also, you'll really want someone in the field with you for a positive ID. If you're just trying to ID for fun, this is fine, but please do not consider eating a mushroom you are not 100% sure about. And you should never be 100% sure about a mushroom ID'd over the internet....See MoreMushroom id please
