Travel: Nearing the summit at Moro Rock



2022-09-04 - Sequoia National Park, CA - Photo By Robert Ellis, Robert Ellis Woodworking.
Robert writes, "Moro Rock, is nestled within Sequoia Park. It is a very popular hike; by merely catching one of the Parks shuttle busses you can be dropped off at the starting point of the climb. It's a relatively short 1/2 mile hike to the top and back...but with over 350 steps, and blend in a little mix of fear of heights (if you have that fear) this makes for a really fun hike. When you reach the summit, your at a elevation of 6,725 feet, with awesome views of the Sierra Nevada mountain range."

Whoever gave you the identification looks like they are in the right family, now if that's the exact species of the family? If you scroll down to the third picture I think it looks very close to what you found in the woods. Beautiful mushroom. https://www.mushroomexpert.com.
