Upon my arrival, I noticed the destruction of a whole group of a fungus type on the west side of my first stump! Who does that?! On Earth Day weekend! After shedding a few tears for this terrible loss, I regrouped myself and was able to capture the remainging groups of fungus. And, because I quickly became quite snap-happy in my lovely site, I photographed some of the moss around my stumps as well.
This is what I call "burnt-ornage bubble" fungus!
I think this one is upside down... 
A magical little nook above the stream, on the east side of the first stump.
Another view of the nook pictured above. Notice the green moss and more "burnt-orange bubbles!"
These pictures are amazing! This was very interesting to look at and it's awesome that you took time out of your weekend to capture these things as well.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this post! The fungal community in your site is something I have been fascinated with ever since a former student, Morgan Tuss, began tracking it's ebbs and flows three years ago. It's so fun to see how you, too, have been captivated and to learn from the observations you are making. The photos are excellent!
ReplyDeleteAhhhhhhhhh gross!
