| Unidentified mushroom, about 2 inches high. |
They were growing in a deep mulch of Douglas fir needles, rotting wood, and mosses. This is true rainforest, and all the ground in the area was wet, even though it is mid-summer.

| The same mushroom, with a couple of new ones sprouting nearby. |
There were about a dozen of these, none taller than 2 inches, most just buttons poking through the duff, all within a circle about a metre across. I looked all around the area and found no more.
I sent the photos in to the Mushroom Identification Forum when I got back from Tahsis a week ago; no-one has attempted to id them yet.
Any ideas?
I've never seen anything like it. Very unusual colour for a mushroom. - Margy
ReplyDeleteInteresting and not "mushroom-like", at least in the traditional sense. Your neck of the woods is so radically different from my bone-dry desert environment! It's fun to check out your posts!
ReplyDeletecould these be emerging Pinedrops? ( Pterospora) never seen anything like them. Too bad you could not check them a week later
