General Information: Two of the largest lobsters I have ever found in this pic. Are others cutting them off at ground level? I have tried this with my Chanterelle knife, but they just seem to "roll" right out of the ground. Suggestions??
Chris' Comments: I just pluck these out then trim off the dirt...

General Information: I have been searching for the elusive blewit (at least for me). I found this lilac colored mushroom, which has gills the same color as the top. Flesh is lilac/white. I'm sure this is not an edible blewit, but was wondering as to what it may be? Chanterelles are going strong due to a good amount of rain, as are the lobsters. No black trumpets found as of yet.
Chris' Comments: Not a Blewit! The rust colorings tells me that it is a Cortinarius...
