Been a long winter I guess for some, no new posts on this thread for awhile. Well I took a picture of this mushroom last week. I've got no idea what type it is any ideas?
Sure is pretty.

I have no idea, does it have gills, teeth or look spongy under the cap? Where did you find it growing? What is the dominate cover type? Does it have a veil? Yes, I know lots of questions but be careful if it has teeth it might bite. :D ;D ;)

Gordon, if you can describe the taste it might help, and if you tasted it and can no longer describe anything that might help I.D. it too. ;D

And I always thought that was why IBM kept Charlie in a back room, in the dark and fed him all that manure. :-/

Is this really a mushroom or a toadstool? How do you tell the difference? Is all of it a mycelium bloom?

OK Boys! Ya want me to be serious. What a chore. ???
I think it's a Red Hot Milk Cap. It has the shape of a Turkey Tail, but the color ain't right. So it must be a Red Hot Milk Cap. ;)
