I came upon this mushroom at the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park's Barataria Preserve, just south of New Orleans (across the Mississippi River) in Jefferson Parish. I don't know one mushroom by name from another. I am surely not a mycologist. I just liked the color and shape of this one growing on log.

Wait...this is weird, and maybe I'm going crazy...but doesn't it look kind of like MARDI GRAS colors??? Egads!
That's one colorful mushroom! Maybe teahouse is right; it came from a Mardi Gras spirit...
The colors are beautiful on that mushroom...I've never seen one so colorful!
This surely is fantastic! Glad you have found it!
I would call it a rainbow mushroom.
Maybe you will find its name here:

It might be what we call "amadouvier" in French but I am not sure. I have always been fascinated by these very strange mushrooms.
They make beautiful photos but I am not sure they make good omelets!
Nice shelf fungus. Looks like "Turkey Tail."
Steve, Great photo of the rainbow-colored fungus or whatever it is.
BTW, I figured out how to convert my template to a stretch one so ignore my e-mail to you. Thanks.

Looks like it holds a rainbow of colors. Beautiful closeup, Steve.
I think I may have ingested some of that mushroom...I'm starting to see funny colors.
Colorful fungus. Seems the more color denotes poison...actually I haven't a clue but its pretty.
