There sure were a lot of mushrooms at Lily Lake in Rocky Mountain National park last summer. I can’t wait until next summer when they start to come out again. I’ll be ready with my camera and my mushroom book.
This brown mushroom was taken in the sun near the lake. It was about 5-6″ in diameter.
Does anyone know what kind of mushroom it is? The closest I could come was some kind of a Bolete mushroom. I certainly have a lot to learn about mushrooms!
It looks like someone took a bite out of it, don’t you think? Have you ever seen one like this?
Had the same thought as you did, Mel: that someone had been gnawing on it. My understanding is that Brown Mushrooms are not only edible but filled with vitamins, as well.
