New to mushrooming, but my late son wanted to be a mycologist and so I always look for them now. Found this one this morning on a fallen cottonwood log on the banks of the Rio Grande.

Normally I do not disturb anything (as much as possible when walking 3 70lbs dogs) during my morning walks. But I could not stop thinking about this mushroom, so I went back to get more pictures and ended up harvesting it.
ETA: Was just looking at the above image again, and it appears there is a baby scorpion in the center of the mushroom.
