A Kauffman’s Gomphus For some reason just lately (2010) the genus name has changed from Gomphus to Turbinellus. Something to do with molecular genetics. At first glance I thought that this mushroom was a weird chanterelle, not so. Interesting that is is a North American species.

      The top of this mushroom looks like a meringue gone wild. New to me for sure. Posted 6 years ago
