Mushrooms!

While on our little hike on Sunday, we were surprised to find many different kinds of mushrooms growing all over the place. Our favorites were the different colored mushrooms! So now we're trying to figure out what kinds they are. Hopefully we're close as we search the Internet to find them!

I found a page on Facebook where I uploaded a picture of one of the mushrooms. But I soon found out that you can't completely identify a mushroom with just a picture of its top. You need to stalk and the spore print(?) or the underside of the mushroom cap too. We didn't take pictures of those, so I've put here what we could find on the Internet and the rest are just for you to enjoy!

"The Sickener" (Russula emetica). This is the cutest little mushroom, it's the kind you see in cartoons. But apparently, it's not very good for you and can make you sick!

While reading about these, they said that they weren't sure that these kinds were found very much in North America. But we think it's the closest.





Cortinarius iodes?

Another "Sickener" from the genus Russula - not exactly sure the species.
