Gymnopilus junonius
First spotted a few weeks ago these fungi have changed dramatically although unable to grow to the usual size due to oncoming drought. They have also developed a gaudy turquoise green bloom on some parts. Gills of course have gone totally rusty. Here is how they looked at their glowing best http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/279...
Suburban roadside sports field.
Not sure what the coppery bloom is... yet to research that one. It was all over the right cap as well although not so strong. Copper ??

Thanks Jared. I'm getting obsessed with that green.
Nice colors Mark. An amazing fungus with an amazing history. :-)
