We've had a pretty rainy fall so there has been lots of opportunity to spot shrooms. The park down the road from my place seems to always have a few different varieties, the only edible kind II have confidently IDed are the humble field mushroom, the rest other than the amanita's are a mystery and tend to bring up somewhat vague options when using reverse image search...
This is one of the strangest looking I have come across, this is what comes up when II seach for similar images:
The image appears to show an elder, heavily distorted or deformed specimen from the genus Helvella (such as Helvella vespertina or Helvella crispa), likely colonized or parasitized by a mold such as Hypomyces (like Hypomyces chrysospermus or Hypomyces cervinigenus).
Mmmmm, moldy!
This was part of a cute widespread fairy ring, possibly part of the amanita family?:
There were a ton of these, this is what google says:
The selected region shows honey mushrooms (Armillaria species) or a similar gilled cluster, while the wider context includes scattered gilled or bolete-like mushrooms growing around moss and decaying wood.
The park where I found these has a warning that they sprayed pesticides so I have no interest in investigating too much if they are edible or not LOL. I would like to know the type for sure incase I find them in a better place!
An assortment of various amanitas including one purplish pink one that may just be old or rotten I guess:
