The rainy Pacific Northwest provides perfect growing conditions for funghi. Here are a few intriguing examples I saw in the forest around Forks.
Some, perhaps, are edible while others are definitely not. I wouldn’t, given my current state of knowledge, risk eating any of these. Please feel free to correct any error of identification or contribute any other information with a comment.
A classic fairytale scene. A fine example of Fly Amanita. (Amanita muscaria).
Chicken-of-the-woods. (Laetiporus sulphureus). This is, if my identification is correct, edible although it does apparently cause some gastrointestinal complaints in some people.
Possibly Shaggy Mane. (Coprinus comatus). Shaggy Mane are edible but highly perishable.
No idea on this one.
No idea on this one either but it was very pretty with all the dew drops on it.
Another unidentified funghi.
