Yea Baz! I vaguely remember the early 70's.

Thanks Bingo, I really didn't spend a long time observing it. but I could send you a larger size of the same photo if it will help. I hope your Ok and nothing serious.

Hello Althea,

This is updated info about the mushroom. We sent the picture to other mycologist expert in basidiomycetes and he thinks it is Cymatoderma sp.

Dr. H,

David thinks it is a Cymatoderma sp. I looked them up and it does look very much like something that that genus would produce. I could only find a photo of Cymatoderma elegans which doesn't look like what they photo is of, but the gross morphology does look right.

Hi Dave,

I think 4 expert mycologists from 3 different universities, one of whom is a mushroom expert, have ID' d it as Cymatoderma sp.
I had them stumped for a moment because they thought I found it in Illinois.

I'm ok Dave, thanks for asking-- it was quite serious cardiovascular problems but caught it in time! OB and OB on Facebook have been wonderful companions as I've been home recuperating!
