Yes, but not very tasty

They also said Cantharellus only grow on trees in their print issue, likely AI generated text. Their last video on fungi was full of errors as well. They have really gone downhill

Mycophobic nonsense.

Good question - I don't think they're damaging to the host, but it is hard to find good info

You'll have more luck checking Trichaptum - I've never found them on Trametes yet. There's also a similar looking species, Gliocladium polyporicola, which grows on Stereum hirsutum, so may as well check all the small shelf fungi!

 

Phaeocalicium polyporaeum is a tiny mycoparasitic fungus, seen here on its most common host, Trichaptum cf biforme, although it has also been reported on Trametes versicolor.

Tolypocladium sp, which grow from an inedible Elaphomyces truffle

Clathrus columnatus perhaps? Def one of the stinkhorns

Nice to see the real thing! Lots of people recently down south here in the states posting Verbesina and similar "frost flowers" producing plants during the freeze

Nice! They're fun to toss in soups or make gummies

Pezizales, at least haha Ascomycetes, especially cups, terrify me. There are so many that look macroscopically identical

Check Apioperdon pyriforme 🍄

 

A big ol' Pseudoinonotus dryadeus aka "oak bracket". These fruit bodies can overwinter and last multiple years! This one was about 2ft across

Pleurotus sp, aka oysters. Spore print won't really help here, most things that look like this are white-spored or near. Think of spore prints as a way to occasionally rule out something else, not mandatory for a positive ID

The goo is edible too! Flavor intensifies with this process. Some folks like to use it for pasta or sauces, kind of like a vegan squid ink
