Field Notes
Description:
round puffy dry flat brick red cap about 5 cm across that has extensive cracks of yellow and brick red as it ages; dark yellow webbed unattached gills, reddish medium thick stalk about 7 cm tall, found in grass; stem reddish over a yellow ground color; the top of stem has a ring of yellow ridges

grass under hardwoods
Notes:
These are different fungus but I think they are all the same species; the solid red top may be younger and gets cracked when older; the first is more flat and the second looks like a red ball cut in half
