	Hi, With the rain and mostly damp hot/cold/hot/cold weather we've been having in Raleigh, all sorts of mushrooms are growing everywhere - even on the dead tree I use as a bridge over the creek! Weird!?! cheers, r

	Kayla and I were down in the Uwharries yesterday and the shrooms were amazing, never seen so many down there. Unfortunatly most were inedible, but Kayla did find a patch of beautiful orange chantrells, but too small to pick and too pretty anyway. We needed this weather in Morel season.

	They were really pretty cinnabar chanterelles. I found a neat looking mushroom while I was out prospecting today that I have never seen before. I looked like a white flower coming out of the ground. It reminded me of rose petals but I can't seem to find anything like it in my mushroom book or online.... unfortunately I didn't think to take a picture until after I had left

	I'm going to take a guess and say it was the "Indian Pipe" plant you saw.� (Monotropa uniflora) �

	no it wasn't indian pipe. Indian pipe isn't a mushroom. It's just a wildflower that lacks chlorophyll. I know what that looks like.I have found that close to where I live. this was something different. big flower like petals, no long stem. If it's still around next time I go there I will take a picture closest thing I can find is a cauliflower mushroom, but not exactly. Not as curly

	I don't think so. Kinda similar. that's a cool looking one though I'm gonna have to go back and see if I can find it again. It was growing on the ground not on a tree

	My back yard was full of them even though the grass was cut less than 2 weeks ago.� There were literally hundreds from common toad stools to orange with red spots to red and yellow and "puff balls".� Wife spent yesterday afternoon pulling them up and throwing them away.� I though they added a bit of character to the yard, but what do I know.�
