Found this one on a pine stump, growing with turkey tails.. it feels like a turkey tail, has the velvety leathery feel to it, and like turkey tail is a polypore and saprophytic (feeding on wood).
Love the colour of it, whatever it is? Kind of looks like chicken of the woods
Looks like it could be a Cinnabar Bracket (Pycnoporus sanguineus)

That thing looks massive
Has to be in the same family as turkey tail too. Those shrooms are popping off, I wonder if they are the subs kind?

It would be about 90cm at its widest point.That thing looks massive

I believe there are some subs variety plus others. I'll get a better collection of shots in a week ors so when the workload backs off a bit

It’s called Orange Bracket or something. Very common. Indigenous peoples used them as teething rings for babies.

That's interesting, I read some articles on them and they reckon the colour pigments could be used as paint or dye?
And they are medicinal to an extent, helping all sorts of ailments apparently but then there were articles saying they were inedible too

Don’t think they are medicinal. But also not sure if they are edible. I think they just don’t taste nice so I guess they are edible but you wouldn’t actually eat them. But please don’t use my knowledge as permission to eat them
I just remember hearing about them years ago. I have one the forms in a sleeper in my back garden.

@Aye Shroomer Any idea of what these could be? They get pretty big and the caps fan out and get the wavy appearance,
Inkcaps???

No idea. The colour reminds me of oysters but they don’t look like them.
Second one could be any basic lawn mushroom. There is sooooo many species of mushroom out there.

Took another stray pan, left it a bit too late so it dropped spores on the bag so I swabbed the spores with cotton tips
Loads of little pins showing now so I should start getting some solid clusters happening. They smell great which is surprising compared to the AA+ I tried growing a few years back, which had a bitter musty smell.

The two main muchies have more than doubled in size in the past 36 hrs - the big one is about 5" tall@Sun Ra 's GT bag. Very happy to see one of the comp bags produce something (was worried I gave all the winners dud bags of contaminated garbage).

and the smaller one's about 4". At what stage do I pick them and how do I do that ? Pull them out roots
and all or cut them of at soil level with a knife ?

Think they can just be taken with a knife. I have been just pulling mine out but it takes a chunk of mycelium and dirt with, will just start snipping them off. Apparently they are best to pick when the underside of the mushroom cap (veil) begins splitting from the stem if that makes sense? I'm not a pro but that's what I recalled anyway
.
They look pretty big too, they look more pale than what I had in mind being golden Teachers and all, nice colour though

There's a better pic of the veil starting to tear, any longer and it will shoot spores.

Woah, this is next level home-grown!
I can now really appreciate those early days now, just a Macca's bag in hand and simply going for a walk through the local pine forests (about this time of year too) and finding a patch to "flick and pick" until our bags were full.
This is the hard-yards for sure, hats off!
