I ran into this one near the lake. I've never seen one with this bright contrasting color before. Anyone know what it is? It was by itself with no others to be found. -Kurt Horsley

It's hard to see, but was there a "pouch" that this came from, out of the ground? I think I can see one in this shot, but just barely. That looks sort of like a species from the genus Amanita. If so, they are quite poisonous and hallucinogenic.

I'm no help with the ID, but it's a very interesting mushroom.
