I love heady hiking finds.  It is just about the season for spring ephemerals.  It is quite enjoyable discovering the little flowers peeping through the leaves much as you have discovered these mushrooms.  I believe there is a psychoactive mushroom species that grows in cow patties in my area.  Looks can be deceiving when it comes to mushrooms and I wouldn't eat them unless I was certain they were safe. Nice post.  Thanks for sharing!
