This is my first attempt to post a photo here. It probably won't work, so please bear with me as I try to figure this out...

Looks like it worked! The first photo is of some shiitake I grew (WR 46 strain) on some chinquapin logs that fell during a snowstorm years ago. These logs are still producing. The second photo is of a chanterelle I found a few years back. I find these September-December under Doug-fir and Sitka spruce.

Here are some more fungi photos. The first is a sulfur shelf, also known as chicken-of-the-woods. They are found on oaks in western Oregon in late August-October. The second is a big hedgehog, I find them along the coast under Sitka spruce in November-January.

Below are some lion's mane mushrooms that I grew on oak logs a few years back. These are super delicious! Right now I'm growing a whole new batch now on oak logs in an indoor spawn run. They should be ready to fruit for the first time next month.

Take a sniff. If I'm correct, it is a stinkhorn, AKA phallus impudicus. and wow, the Latin name is really suggestive of its shape, isn't it? Here is the Wiki on it:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phallus_impudicus#:~:text=Phallus%20impudicus%2C%20known%20colloquially%20as,names%20in%2017th%2Dcentury%20England.
I'm French but I never saw them there, or heard of them being eaten there. [I suppose if you pick it at the "devil's eggs" stage, before it becomes carrion smelling, they might not stink as much, and if you are hungry, it might even be edible].
I had a whole lot of them one year, even some with a small hole at the top.
