Fungus
Let me immediately confess that I have absolutely no idea what sort of fungus this is - that's one of the many areas of ignorance I have. So if anyone can identify please do.

Well, I know precious little regarding fungi, either. Although I sometimes refer to Mark as a Funguy!!! hehehe
I did a Google search and found this. There are so many beautiful fungi and mushrooms!

Perhaps your find was Coprinus Comatus?
Your photo is very lovely. The textures of the leaves, grass, and fungi add great interest...as well as the colors!
You might well b correct -but I don't think I'll try eating it!
Nor would I!!!
My paternal grandfather and grandmother emigrated here from Ukraine in 1907. My grandfather used to go into the woods and gather "wild mushrooms" for the family. My father never ate any and to this day, when he sees a mushroom, he turns his nose up at it!
I am too chicken to eat much of anything other than things that are sold at the grocer's! But, even portabella mushrooms make me squeamish!
I actually love mushrooms.
