A walk in the woods

Nora and I hiked about 7 miles of the Tunxis trail, out by Barkhamsted reservoir on Saturday. On our journey, we found a few Horn of Plenty mushrooms, but apparently we were late because we found many more decaying ones. Enough for the fry pan. Also discovered a little trout stream that feeds a pond. I spooked a bunch of brookies, which was pretty cool. Here are some photos:







One other thing... does anyone have a guess what this might be?



I think it might be a button Hen of the Woods, but I'd like to hear some other guesses.

    Dave- you might be right. It wasn't gelatinous was it? If it was than it's not hen of the woods.

    It was pretty firm. I've never seen anything like that before.
