Grisette--Amanita vaginata--and Clavulinopsis laeticolor

"Grisette," Amanita vaginata.

 Common name refers to a French working-class woman, usually a part-time "flirt;" from "gris" (grey), the color of the cheap unbleached clothing they wore.
Anyway, these mushrooms have characteristic striated cap edges, a ring and a nice volva.
Bonus: this photo appears in Michael Kuo's latest book, "Mushrooms of the Midwest"!











Tiny orange coral, probably Clavulinopsis laeticolor.

Coral Mushroom--Ramaria

A beautiful coral mushroom, about 6" tall. It's a Ramaria, but since I posted this over 10 years ago I've learned it's not so easy to ID Ramaria to species without microscopy.
