Hello Shroom thread! I was directed here after posting in critterquest! Cropped to only show the shrooms.

I have a new report, this one is from TEXAS

It's a big state but my hunting buddies invited me out to try to hunt with them out here.

So here are some fungi.








One of my buddies is trying to learn the differences between mushrooms and had guesses at these, could anyone ID any of them as an answer key? They were all located in Caddo National Grasslands. Thank you if you can, and no worries if you can't/don't wanna.

Thank you so much, I'm also going to direct said buddy to this thread since he's learning to forage. He knows better than to simply eat what he finds but would like to know what lives near his place.

I’m not sure on species because Texas is a long way from me, but that first yellow guy is likely Tremella sp, and the flat leathery ones are likely Stereum sp.—this follows as some Tremella parasitize Stereum.

Your second photo is some kind of puffball.

We can't reliably identify the capped ones without pulling them apart and doing a spore print. Probably shouldn't eat them regardless.

Thank you both so much! None of these were harvested, as we don't want to harvest anything until we become better at IDing fungi. It's very fun to go out and spot them though!
