Armillaria sp. aka Honey mushrooms, they're very aggressive so RIP to that tree. One of the world's largest living organisms is an Armillaria that spans over 2000 acres in Oregon.
Coprinus, it means "of poop" because a lot of them grow on dung, though this one usually prefers well-fertilized soil (which may or may not have manure in it).
They're more like nature's Jell-O shots.
People just liked it better that way.
It wasn't a certain group though, it was all Federation citizens being forced to leave a planet which was agreed in negotiations with Cardassia to have been rightful Cardassian territory which was illegally occupied by the Federation in the first place.
Eating them raw sounds gross (most mushrooms shouldn't be eaten raw but jelly fungi are fine raw) but if you candy and dehydrate them, the texture is just like a gummy bear.
It looks like Hypholoma capnoides (conifer tuft) which is edible but it's hard to say for sure.
Hypholoma fasiculare (sulfur tuft) can look similar at this stage of development and is somewhere between "bitter and indigestible" and "mildly toxic".
I can identify these as Hypholoma sp. from the painting so great job.
It's from from "Scott Pilgrim takes off" which sort of a sequel to the Scott Pilgrim movie (it's complicated) but there's not much WLW in the series beyond this scene and an allusion to
minor spoiler
Knives and Kim having a vibe without actually having them hook up like they did in the comic
Developers don't have unions so we often just get left out of the credits anyways.
Sadly, it was just some well-aged Russula.
Species is the olive shaggy parasol Chlorophyllum olivieri.
I like how they look like cake pops before they open up
From below you can really see the nice contrast between the pale gills and blue everywhere else
This mushroom is an Entoloma in the subgenus Leptonia, probably something like Entoloma subeuchroum or Leptonia subeuchroa if they decide to split Leptonia into its own genus as mycologists have been discussing.
Host is a crack-cap bolete (Xerocomellus diffractus). The mold is either Hypomyces chrysospermus or Hypomyces microspermus, you can only tell them apart under a microscope.
These are highly prized for dying fabrics. They tend to turn all black as they get older which has led to them being given another name: "the bear poop fungus" because a few too many dyers have gotten their hands unspeakably dirty in eagerness to reach for what they thought was this mushroom.
I don't dye fabric myself but I was able to give this one away to a friend who can put it to good use.
Want to know what that mushroom that keeps popping up in your yard is for? Bring them in and have them examined by expert identifiers.
There's also a giant display showcasing specimens of the various mushrooms of the Pacific Northwest, cooking demos, cultivation workshops, and more!
Sadly, only very rotten one on the left was. The other two are Cortinarius sp. with nearly identical caps.
Underside:
These are highly variable, they're often brown on top with a yellow stem. I was doubting my initial ID, thinking they might be Chrysomphalina aurantiaca because the color was so off so I took them to my mycology club and had it confirmed.
The Pacific Northwest Craterellus was just called by the European species name "C. tubaeformis" for a long time but it's not the same species, "C. neotubaeforumis" is a name that's been proposed but not yet formalized.
The ones I found were growing on a log but Pholiota can parasitize living trees so I made sure to keep them in a non-mesh bag.
They're are edible and occasionally cultivated. I plan to try some soon because I can't resist trying something so scaly and slimy that looks like you shouldn't eat it.

I think that's a "pruinose" cap covered in fine hairs which give it that frosted look. Compare to the R. murrillii group: https://www.alpental.com/psms/PNWMushrooms/PictorialKey/Russula.htm#MildDark
