Red Car Property: Super Bright Mushrooms

Photo: Diane Edwardson, February 18, 2015. A bunch of bright yellow mushrooms caught my eye at the north end of the Red Car Property.  The yellow was very, very bright & looked slimy.  (Click on photos to enlarge.)

Photo: Diane Edwardson, February 15, 2015.  The mushroom caps start off vibrant yellow when they first sprout, then fade to beige & eventually, shrivel into a leathery brown.  The largest of these mushrooms was about 3" in diameter.  No, I have no idea what they are, other than some form of "gilled mushroom."
