Did you see the video that Diaco posted about them below? It’s very cool and informative.
Are they mainly found in a particular part of the country? There's a mycological group in the Seattle area and they often have trips to the mountain areas for mushrooms. I have been on two and have been amazed at the variety of fungi in this area.

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.
