Since I had no idea of the names of these mushrooms I asked for help. Thanks to Ricky (see comment below) for sharing his knowledge!
In late July my grandson, Jackson, and I hunted for mushrooms in the mountains. We found a surprising number probably due to the larger than normal amount of moisture we've had this summer. I liked how the texture and colors of the mushrooms contrasted with the pine needles, cones, twigs, and growth on the forest floor.
P.S. We didn't eat any of them ;))
Hiding under a rotting log.
Found it this way….not sure how it got turned over…
Jackson has a good eye for spotting mushrooms!
All lovely constrasts of structures and colours! Do you know which ones are edible?
