Field Notes

Description:

The top is red with the gills and stem being orange. This is two different mushrooms, the second is in the last two pictures. It was larger and looks to have been chewed on, but I was pretty sure it's the same species. If not let me know and I'll put it into its own spotting :)

Habitat:

Found about 30 meters away from a pond under some oak trees.
