Ketchikan, Alaska - Rainwater sparkles in the vase-shaped cap
of a woolly Yellow Foot Chantrelle. Growing on the right is an
Orange Coral Mushroom. These colorful mushrooms were photographed
along Lunch Creek Trail.
The edibility of the woolly Yellow Foot Chantrelle is questionable
since it reportedly has caused gastrointestinal upsets in some
consumers. One should always be extremely careful when picking
wild mushrooms - some species are poisonous.
