Gunflint Mushroom Porn

After a dry summer, the heavy rains of the week past produced a bumper crop of mushrooms, and great variety. Above, a patch of Rusula in the shade of some spruce trees.
Here's a classic hericium coralloides, or "coral tooth", fruiting from the end of a cut log. We couldn't resist taking a bit of this home for dinner.
On the other extreme, amantia muscaria, or "fly agaric" is a potent hallucinogen.
These little opportunists were growing out of a moss-covered birch.
And, finally, a "hat trick" of fungi along the trail.
