Mushrooms of CabinCove (40)

Notes: small shelf mushrooms in rows and clusters on not-so-rotten birch log (~4-5” diameter), no odor
ST: lateral or on top, stubby, cap-like
CAP: 20-25mm, smooth, viscid, nicely evenly rounded to fan-shaped, convex surface, pale brown at marg to darker brown in center, whitish scurfy when dry
FLESH: v thin, bends easily and soft but doesn’t break, brownish
VEIL: fibrillose, conspicuous remnants hanging from margin, whitish

I’m still working on getting a spore print from these things. Until then I’m tentatively assuming it’s brown. (Can’t be Panus or kin because of veil, right?)

Summary: Panellus patellaris

Found this in Gary Lincoff’s Audubon guide as Tectella patellaris but Index Fungorum lists that as a synonym for Panellus patellaris.

Summary: Nice photos

Def. a Crepidotus, but probably not mollis. I’ve been meaning to try and get better at Crepidotus at some point, but probably not going to get to it this year. I think in the Apalachins there are a lot of different Crepidotus, that aren’t in the west. At least Smith’s monograph makes you think this is true.

Summary: Never seen a veil like that on the west coast

Is that typical of C. mollis on the east coast?
