Under The Wood Pile
I found an odd looking mushroom as I was lifting some firewood from the bottom row and came across this ugly duckling of a specimen.
At first I thought it was a salamander hiding out along the ground because of the glossy, wet-look, but all the rounded bumps didn’t fit into description. The base of the mushroom is mottled white from another musty mushroom living off it.
As far as I have been able to figure, this vegetation would be part of the false morel family and is not edible. That is just fine with me, it doesn’t look that appetizing anyway.
