On the forest floor

A wild morel mushroom grows in the Umpqua National Forest near Glide, Ore., on Monday, May 9, 2011. Edible morel mushrooms, with the distinctive honeycomb-like upper portion, are highly prized by gourmet cooks, particularly for French cuisine.

You sometimes see some interesting things if you slow down and look down while hiking in the forest. I first spotted the snail, but soon saw the mushrooms and more snails.

A large Pacific sideband snail crawls slowly over a mossy log in the Umpqua National Forest near Glide, Ore., on Monday, May 9, 2011.  The Pacific sideband snail thrives in the moist forests of the Pacific Norhtwest.  It feeds on fungi and vegetable matter.

Looks like items from the menu at a fancy french restaurant.
