[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This image was taken in a flooded section of the Ridgefield Wildlife Refuge in Washington State. I was scouting an area I had not discovered, due to the high water levels during the late winter and early spring when the rain accumulation settles in the swampy marsh. On many trees these growths could be seen, they were in a dark and damp environment and required Fill Flash to bring out the detail and true color of their forms.
I used a Tamron 70-210mm --F 3.5 to take the photo.

Hello Steven!
Excellent capture.I liked POV,lighting,contrast,details and composition a lot.TFS...:-)

Yeah! Great shot.
Lovely composition.
Good colors and details.
Andrea

great catch, Steven!

They could be from Tricholomataceae or Strophariaceae family. I'm not familiar with America's mushrooms.
I like the clarity of the picture, and also the slightly dark mood of it. Most of the mushrooms likes usually shades.

Regards, Petru

PS. No signs of Morels yet ...

Hello Steven,
Nice shot! Fungi look preety interestning. I think we have something simmilar here. I like POV and framing here. Nice colours as well.
WELL DONE!

Hi steven,
your photo shows a PHOLIOTA.
It can be Pholiota squarrosa (Weigel 1771) P. Kummer 1871 or Pholiota squarrosoides (Peck 1900) Saccardo 1887.
Unfortunately the differences are microscopic.
Pholiota squarrosa is common in Europe, Pholiota squarrosoides is common in the USA, but both species are present.
