glutinous orange waxy cap (Hygrophorus subsalmonius) at Lake Meyer Park IA 653A3867

These colorful mushrooms with their sticky gelatinous caps don't seem to fruit around here until the forest soil gets very cold. I always find them under fallen leaves near large shagbark hickory trees. Though they are edible, it's tough to get over their slimy texture, so I don't bother picking them anymore.
