I know enough about mushrooms to know that they don't bloom...  Anyway, yesterday while riding through town of Woodside on Mountain Home Rd. I saw THIS:

Actually, I did not see exactly that.  To see that, I had to slow down, turn around, come back, and take a picture...  At first it was an orange blur on the right side of the road.  Looked like chanterell mushrooms to me but they were so big!  I had to put my credit card size wallet next to the mushrooms so you can see their size.

Later, continuing the ride, I saw more mushrooms up Mountain Home Rd. and down Manzanita.  Don't know what these mushrooms are and if you can eat them.  But it definitely added excitement to my ride!
