That's the Pinkebellus Powerbaitaria. Once they release their spores, their flesh firms up and they are easily baited on snelled hooks. Just wait another week or so.
Strange, weird or odd or whatever beach finds thread….

My knowledge of mushrooms is limited to what’s edible and “edible” in Western Washington. Now I can add “fishable”.
Looks like a close match. Love seeing all the different slime molds this time of year.

Unless eating porcini, morels, galerina, or psilocybe.#1 rule,
no blue ring,
no eat!
And, when fishing, octopuses. Don’t eat the blue ring ones.
Could be, or perhaps chard?
We’ll leave these here for future beach green leafy veggie identification because you never know what you’ll find.

Southern boy here recognizes a sad-ass PNW bunch of collard greens when he sees them. Sorry but it’s true. I’ve been disappointed so many times. You’re not supposed to have to spend $27 on 4 bunches to make a decent mess of greens. Just sayin’s all.
Collards picked soon after the fall frost when they are a bit sweeter.

Man that brings back memories of Louisville Sundays; collards with a hock, fried chicken, Mac n cheese, corn, and a slice of pecan pie......
Some of today’s finds.
I believe Big Fig makes its first thread appearance. That tribal tag traveled a really long distance.

No pictures due to names and addresses, but found some stolen mail on the last beach I fished today. Dropped it off at the post office on the way home. Lots of scumbags out there these days.

I dropped this off at the Burke Museum for their new chum salmon exhibit.
Got myself a new Ducks Unlimited bucket.
Way better than a Yeti bucket.

Nice find, Cabezon!
In my youth, I moved to a remote fishing village on the B.C. coast. We used to catch ratfish incidentally on commercial halibut gear. I read somewhere that ratfish liver oil was used in the old days for lubricating fine machinery, watches, guns, and fishing reels. This was decades before PCs and the internet, so I must have brought a few of my marine life books with me. And nobody else in the village had heard of such a thing.
I always liked to make gifts, rather than buy them, and since there was nowhere to shop out there, I decided to gift some ratfish liver oil to my inventive Dad at Christmas. Opening up a ratfish, I found the abdominal cavity was mostly taken up by its liver, like sharks. Boiling a liver or two sure stunk up the cabin! And the decanted oil had a rather unpleasant odour, too. I figured it would be doubtful gift, but what the hell.
When Dad opened his Christmas present, the conversation around my family members showed that my reputation as a fish nerd was as strong as ever!
When clearing out Dad's estate 30 years later, I found his bottle of ratfish oil, looking unused. It still stunk, so I deep sixed it.
Thanks for reviving a portion of my old memory, Cabezon!
That took a lot of backbone, Brian
I’d say maybd a codling but will let one of our fish bios note what it really is.
Poor li’l guy is leaking out all over. I hope you put him out of his misery.
