Not sure where to put this, but Im fishing for answers and don't know exactly where to find them.
I came upon what I strongly believe to be Amanita ocreata. It had the cuplike volva, white gills, etc. So, I'm not asking for an ID, exactly.
Check out the dead flies on the cap. They're all dismembered. I cannot explain this, but I'm hoping someone can throw out a guess.

Looks like Volvopluteus gloicephalus.
Not sure what's up with the bugs. Maybe the viscid cap is trapping them.

That's what it is.

You're asking the right questions. But why didn't you post a gill shot? And remember there is a difference between "looks like" and "it is".

I think they're getting dismembered because they get caught it the viscositygoo and then as the mushroom grows and spreads they are getting pulled apart, one infinitesimal mushroom molecule growth at a time, pretty rad

That would explain it.
Thanks, doctorghosty!

Nice observation doctorghosty. That would be a morbid way to die. Death by mushroom goop then pulled apart as it grows. Buggy nightmare.
