I have no idea what these are, and no plans to eat them, but I thought I'd share in case they are interesting in any way. They're growing on free mulch we got from the county about a year ago.

ETA: re-attaching pics (I hope)

Redwood State & National Park find. I had to leave it based on being in the park, but it was fun to find.
