Strange Fungi

Discovered while tromping around the wilds of Hoquiam. These specimens were spotted at the remote reaches of a parking strip, between the Swanson's grocery and the police station.



Since I can't unpack boxes of books yet, I can't look up my NA Mushroom guide. And a google search got me pretty pictures, but not identification.

This last one has a reflection of the clouds in the pool of water.

They're beautiful! So they're probably incredibly deadly. Surely there's a fungal guide at the library, isn't there?

Hey, Hoquiam made the PDX news - 3.65 inches of rain today! So congrats on that...

Hi Gregg! Nice to see ya here!

mjs, fran, piglet: greetings from the soggy corner of the state. I saw the highest tide ever so far on the Hoquiam River. All the ground is saturated, and puddled. Stay warm & dry!

opps..gave you the californian subspecies. Collectively they are common though. Don't eat!(obviously)
Hit and miss on them and their toxicity
