Glowing Mushroom Lamps

[best appreciated at full size against black]

Here is another picture of the group of mushrooms I found down at the Rogue River a month or so ago.

Have you ever noticed that I have no species facts or information about my mushrooms? This is because mushrooms are so impossible for me to identify. I don't know how people do it. So many mushrooms look identical to me, and then I found out that many mushrooms can only be identified by looking at them under a microscope!! That's insane!! However, I am fascinated by them, so hopefully I'll be able to get a book that identifies mushrooms of Oregon so I can tell you what they are! For now, this is "Lampus Mushroomus"! :D :D
