@figuralperson That's what someone on inat said, looks right

[danny @geosiphon]

These caterpillars were going to town on this elm

[danny @geosiphon]

@Money__Doug If you ever grow hardneck garlic you get just one layer of big cloves around the middle although they are very sticky. I wish I could buy it

[danny @geosiphon]

They don't look that red in the pictures but I promise they were a nice deep red

[danny @geosiphon]

Not really sure what these are but I've never seen gills so red

[danny @geosiphon]

Fomitopsis spraguei, green cheese polypore. The guttation (droplets) on it were sour and kind of lemony, pretty nice

[danny @geosiphon]

Amanita flavorubens

[danny @geosiphon]

Some Psathyrellaceae species, maybe Candolleomyces

[danny @geosiphon]

Young Hydnellum, look at those baby teeth

[danny @geosiphon]

Xylaria species. In the cross section you can see perithecia lining the edges, these are the structures containing the asci which hold the ascospores

[danny @geosiphon]

@fairieteeth pine pollen cone?

[danny @geosiphon]

@nvolpewild Gasteruption might be the coolest genus name I've ever heard

[danny @geosiphon]

@chadwaytweety @Dansplainer I think these should give you delirium too

[danny @geosiphon]

@HILLARYCLlNT0N @aadityad9 It should, Amanita jacksonii too, I just went with latin names because fungal common names are so nebulous

[danny @geosiphon]

@aadityad9 I've yet to find a good giant puffball, I don't hang out in the grass much

[danny @geosiphon]

@treebutches If I had to guess they taste like nothing

[danny @geosiphon]

Tubifera ferruginosa, raspberry slime mold

[danny @geosiphon]

@RobertBorland7 Yeah inat suggested that and 3 other species with really similar looking photos but looking at those closer I think you're right. Thanks :)

Some sort of longhorn beetle on a Carolina rose
