Dune ‘shroom

Recommended Posts

Sleeping bear dunes, about 1/2 mile from Lake Michigan. 1 birch tree nearby clinging on to the side of the dune. These were scattered around the area of the tree growing directly out of the sand. 

Didnt have a knife on me to cut, and was too far out to grab any for closer inspection. 

I probably should have shook the sand off the base in hindsight. Just snapped a couple pictures Incase ID was easy enough based on environment. Gills were a bit darker than in the sunlight in the picture.

Cool mushroom!  I have no idea what it is, nor have I seen a mushroom growing in sand before.  Your post brought back memories for me of climbing the Sleeping Bear sand dunes, rolling down them, and then cooling off in Glen Lake when I was a kid.  We used to have a great time there.
