:-D I am actually glad to see they are edible. I am going to do some further investigation before picking them for consumption, but I want to try them out, they are colorful, and I bet they are quite flavorful.

Glad to help; they are beautiful little 'shrooms.

Thank you Auntnance!!! I believe that is exactly what they are. These are a little more pale than the ones in the wiki picture however, the way they grow, and where they were growing fits exactly.
