day 18 of #inktober is the Mica Cap, or Coprinellus micaceus!

day 15 of #inktober is the beautiful Trametes versicolor, or the Turkey Tail mushroom!

day 2 of #inktober is the beautiful Brick Cap mushroom, or Hypholoma lateritium!
these guys are in season right now and can be found on wood in clusters 🌿 it’s related to the poisonous Sulfur Tuft, so it’s edibility is debatable although some people eat them anyway..!
