Some sort of Gliophorus species, similar to psittacinus? Found near an area with a slightly higher concentration of western red cedar. There were also a lot of sword ferns, western hemlock and douglas fir growing nearby.

Quite hairy. Not sure if it was planted in this parking lot, there aren't any others in the landscape so I assume it got here naturally

Never shy about appearing in the hottest days of summer! The closer they are to skunk cabbage the darker the green.
