I like the common name of this quite spectacular fungus, growing at Brown-Lowery Provincial Park. It always seems to grow in just this one spot. It is a toothed fungus, so no gills. This particular fungus was approximately 8" across the cap, and was photographed on August 23rd.

Doug, I do hope you don't mind, but I took the information below from your photostream. Seen at Marston Creek, Kananaskis, on 3rd August last year. "Thanks to funginerd for the suggested ID. Coprinus sterquilinus (?) 'Shaggy Mane', Looks like C. comatus but is growing in dung".

I always enjoy seeing this spiked kind of mushroom. These were growing in the forest at Brown-Lowery Provincial Park on 23rd August last year.

A little group of scaly fungi growing in the Bragg Creek Natural Area, on 22nd August. August seems to have been an amazing month for finding a huge variety of fungi.

Had to dig a little way into my archives, back to 29th August, to find this pair of mushrooms that were growing along the Fullerton Loop trail in Kananaskis (off Highway 66, Elbow Falls Trail).
