The journey into the bog begins as you walk into the lawn. Hundreds of creamy mushrooms the size of your hand pop up from the bluegrass and weeds. What untold treasures await?

| Lactarius psammicola. These mushrooms were growing in their native range in association with their favorite trees, but in moist clay soil. They normally grow in dry, sandy soil. They were also growing in the hundreds |
 |
| This extreme inner depression on a mushroom is known as "infundibuliform". It does not apply to mushrooms that have their spores on the upper side of that cup. This mushrooms is full of water |
 |
| Such cool mushrooms |
 |
| These two are both gigantic and fused |
 |
| Rim |
 |
| Gills |
 |
| Rim n' gills |
 |
| Half-rotten fragment of a Lactarius psammicola. Psamuel loves his milky cola! |
 |
| Unidentified russula (aka brittlegill). Brittlegills are a closely related genus to Lactariuses, or milkcaps |
 |
| There were hundreds of the lil' brittlegills in the same lawn as the milky-cola loving Psamuels* *this is not a real term |
 |
| Very red. Very Slimy. Very very. |
 |
| This one is more pale and pink |
 |
| Rosecombing is a rare phenomenon where an extra spore surface (hymenium) grows on top of a mushroom where the hymenium is usually underneath. In extreme cases,this causes a double-decker mushroom. The photo above seems to be the first step from standard rosecombing to a double-decker. In events of almost mythical rarity, a triple-decker mushrooms forms |
 |
| This is like a tenth of the total Lactarius psammicolas |
 |
| Rotten mushrooms |
 |
| They look kinda like the Milky-cola loving Psamuels, but not quite |
 |
| Unidentified mushroom, possibly in the same genus as the Deathcap |
 |
| Rotten mushroom |
 |
| Maybe Lactifluus piperatus. It is weirdly square for a mushroom |
 |
| Unidentified mushrooms |
 |
| Other unidentified mushrooms |
