MUSHROOM: Any of various fleshy fungi of the class Basidiomycota, characteristically having an umbrella-shaped cap borne on a stalk.

PHOTOGRAPHIC LOCATION:
All mushroom images were taken in Northern Douglas County, around Elkton, Oregon.

AND DATES:
The date each photograph was taken appears under each thumbnail.

SIDE NOTE:
Since some mushrooms are extreemly dangerous, even lethal, and since I can't identify one from the other - let alone if it's good to eat - I consider all wild mushrooms dangerous. As such, I assume that none of the mushrooms pictured below are edible . . . and unless you're an experienced mushroom picker, so should you. However, poisonous or not, they do make interesting photographic subjects.

Mushrooms

Every year a colony of these mushrooms appears at the base of this dead black oak tree, and each year the colony is a little bigger.
