mushroom

Description:

Small (~8 mm diameter) yellow-orange mushroom growing in the middle of a trail.

Habitat:

Mixed native and alien mid-elevation tropical montane forest

Notes:

Spotted along Kealia Trail between the 16th and 17th switchbacks. The first image is a ground-level view of the near vicinity. The second image is an overhead view. The third is a macro image showing the gills. This individual is similar in appearance to Amanita muscaria, but much smaller than the usual size of that species.
