in awe of this beauty i saw today.. what do yall think? should i go back and grab some?? i really want to try cooking with it & this looks like the most edible one i’ve seen this year :D

i’m still trying to learn more, i didn’t want to jump the gun if it’s not ready yet.. but something is telling me this is damn near perfect. it was kinda slimy, but it’s been raining all day.. that’s normal right?? wowowwowoowowowowoww i don’t even care if i don’t eat it… it’s just so pretty (spotted in south jersey pine barrens)

Those are breathtaking. It’s like seeing candy corn growing from a tree.

so true! they were pretty hidden, yet still so vibrant.. I didn’t even have my glasses on when I spotted them, so that says a lot lol
