Fungi Friday ~ Wonderful Mysterious Mushroom

#fungifriday by @ewkaw
Last September I was out hiking down along a nearby river when I found this beautiful mushroom happily growing on a very old Hemlock tree log.

I have not yet been able to make a positive identification.

In the evening and now back at home at my cabin I spent some time searching and attempting to identify it.
It quickly occurred me I had no idea if it was gilled. Most to important to know in identifying fungi.

The next day I returned back on a mission to take more pictures and I confirmed it was indeed gilled.
I was absolutely thrilled to see and capture a picture with a slug on it this time. I'm not sure but I think there's another slug underneath on the backside of the stem.
I haven't been able to make a positive identification.
My photo search kept leading to perhaps a Rustgill
(Gymnopilus junonius/ Cortinariaceae)

Trying to take a pictures of the underside of low growing mushrooms is challenging.
I carefully slid my mobile phone/camera under it.

Just a little futher on down the river I came across this amazing rather large mushroom.
It was also growing on an old Hemlock log.
I'm wondering if perhaps it could the same fungi. It was much bigger is size and very mature.

How totally marvelous and amazing it would be if fungi personality identify and introduce itself to us
"Hello, my name is Rustgill"

☺🍄Happy Fungifriday
