Caren, That type of mushroom is pretty
distinctive and not likely to get you into trouble. If you were in a bit
of a dry spell, not enough rain in one go to grow them to full size, that would
account for them being small. I've never seen very many of those, we know
them as lions mane, and never small ones, but I can see how it could
happen. Like the oyster mushrooms that are big in the fall but small in
summer. (Most species have a distinct season and any seen outside that
season are something else, but they don't all operate that way) I don't
think they stay prime for very long, so hurry if you are going to pick
them. And keep that spot in mind because you'll probably find them again
when conditions are right, for years to come if you are lucky. Oyster
mushrooms are another good one to know where they grow, usually on standing dead
trees and then on the logs after they fall. Donna
