Oxford MA Mushrooms
6/30/08

On the last foray that I went on with BMC I remember George Riner photographing a similar bunch of mushrooms.  I asked him if they were something unusual.  He said something like: "No, but they are pretty."  George identified them as Xeromphalina campanella.

Growing on a rotten stump.  A quarters of an inch and smaller.

A good name for this one would be Pink Bolete.  George provided the scientific name for this one.
Tylopilus chromapes

Side view of cap.  2.5" diameter

Pink pores and stem.
