I have friends who gather mushrooms in the forests, and who know the difference between edible or poisonous mushrooms, and are also careful to not imbibe the questionable ones without gaining familiarity with them, generally in consultation with others face to face over the mushrooms in question or via expert handbooks, or both. Some people are more cautious than others; I being one of those cautious ones, when it comes to fungus.
These popped up in my yard, under the row of Western red cedar along the south edge of the property, near a filbert tree. Photo from a couple of weeks ago: these fleshy little guys disappeared as quickly as they appeared. Mysterious to me, and will so remain unless I open my mind to mycology and start spending time learning about them.
