One of the more interesting mushrooms that grows near me. The orange color comes from a parasitic ascomycete fungus that grows on the host mushroom. This guy is edible, but I was trail riding so I didn’t harvest.

If you look for the post prior to mine of the Russula brevipes mushroom, that’s how big this was as that was likely the host species that was parasitized. It was about the size of my hand.
So a little of column A, a little of column B. Thanks!
