Notes: Habit: found in a highly disturbed area. Fruitings were observed in an area that had been what appeared to be a controlled burn of approximately 3-5 acres. This burn had partially consumed some large hardwood trees that were alive. Now they are dead and dying. There was a lot of downed lake flotsum timber in the area that was also burned. The burn appeared to be done in 2007 In my opinion. Since then, lake levels had obviously encroached and receeded upon the fruiting regions. I have consumed mushrooms that are macroscopically identical to these but were from the Rocky Mountains. That was prior to my learning of the cumulative poisoning effects of the gyromitrans contained in the flesh of this entity.
