First mushrooms of the year on the Davidson River Trail

 

Bee balm

 Turk's cap lilies

Allegheny monkey flower

Species of fungus commonly known as moose antlers or rabbit ears. It has dark brown outer surfaces, while the fertile spore-bearing inner surface is orange.

 

Despite its common name Hazel Bolete, Leccinum pseudoscabrum is most often found beneath Hornbeam trees, although, as the common name implies, it does indeed sometimes occur with Hazel.

Amanita ceciliae, commonly called snakeskin grisette, strangulated amanita, and the Cecilia's ringless amanita
The mushrooms are considered edible, but field guides typically advise caution in selecting them for consumption, due to risks of confusion with similar toxic species. Unlike some of the other ringless amanitas (commonly referred to grisettes), this mushroom is reported to be at least slightly poisonous.

Clavulinopsis fusiformis, commonly known as golden spindles, spindle-shaped yellow coral, or spindle-shaped fairy club, is a species of coral fungus.

Tremella fuciformis is commonly known as snow fungus, snow ear, silver ear fungus, white jelly mushroom, and white cloud ears.
