Cortinarius sp.
Commonly called "webcaps".
Young cortinarius mushrooms have a veil-like structure called a cortina between their cap and stem, which usually vanishes as they mature. Worldwide, it's estimated over two thousand species of cortinarius exist.

Found these in late September, I had never tried Chicken of the Woods before! I think they were growing on the same log last year, but I didn't grab any because they were too old. I didn't take very good pictures this time. I was so excited that I settled for the "alien abduction" lighting.
They look like pumpkin fingers sticking out of the log.
If you want to know my method for preparing them, here you go:
I brushed them off, wiped them down with a damp paper towel, and cut them into strips to look for bugs. Then I seasoned them and cooked them for 14 minutes over medium heat with olive oil. I flipped them halfway through, then braised them with butter and lemon juice to finish. I served it over a spinach jalapeño salad. It was freakin bomb.
Do not make assumptions about mushrooms you see based on this post. I'm a novice. Some edible mushrooms have dangerous lookalikes.

Trillium viride
Endemic to east-central Missouri and south-west Illinois, this trillium species can be found growing in woods with rich soils and on rocky slopes. It blooms in mid to late spring and there are lookalike trilliums; however, T. viride has a characteristic unique only to it - tiny, yet visible stomata that look like white dots all over the top of its leaves.

Hello! These are more photos from that hike in September. There were two fungi battling it out for territory on this deciduous log, and the salmon pink looking one was losing.
