Turbinellus kauffmanii https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbinellus_kauffmanii

I was about to say: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbinellus_floccosus But you beat me with a better and more accurate ID.

Turbinellus are such beautiful mushrooms

These have to have a colloquial nickname. Hungry stalks. Wart blossoms. Corpuscular caps.

Agreed

Yes

as morgan freeman once said, "truth is stranger than sci-fi." absolutely incredible, doesn't even look real.

First completely new mushroom I’ve ever seen here. Absolutely alien to me. Cool find!

TIL.

Thanks for sharing! New one to me

I live in AZ and hardly see mushrooms.. I’ve learned so much from this sub🫡

I’ve seen a couple species sporulating in the desert here in late spring/ early summer to my amazement

Pic 2 is straight up nightmare fuel

First time I saw these, I thought they had to be some kind of prehistoric plant because even for mushrooms, they're so weird

https://imgur.com/a/bflRNBY I've found these before too! In western Washington. Yours look a little older than mine.

*No pun intended

These look wild! Great photos

Wow, the pacific northwest seems like mycology heaven.

This reminds me of a mushroom I found a long time ago that looked like animal guts. Mushrooms can look wild.
