From an email by Jocie to the Botany Group on October 31.
During these days of social distancing it’s heartening to see troops of gregarious fungi gathering in the woods…quite heedless of human disasters.
Here are some groups and clusterings I’ve come across this fall in various locations: Miracle Beach Park, Rosewall Creek trail, Ralph River campground & Shepherd’s creek trail, and Bevan trails (along the upper Puntledge).

1. Pholiota terrestris.
2. Sulphur tuft (Hypholoma fasciculare).
3. Fried chicken (Lyophyllum decastes).
4. Lake’s boletus (Boletus lakeii).
5. Honey mushroom (Armillaria sp.).
6. Xeromphalina sp.
- Yellow foot (Craterellus tubaeformis). I think this is right, though this one looks more brightly yellow than any I’ve ever seen.
