Emerging mushroom
It was a super fun day at the LBJ National Grasslands today. It was 3.5 miles and almost 6 hours of exploring. I’m pooped. This will probably take me a couple of days to show you all the stuff that was found. It will probably take several posts.
So I will start with just a short one tonight that I started on yesterday, the mushroom.

3:24pm in the prime of its life.
Just to give you a taste of what was found today on the grasslands.

Found this inside a crack in rotten wood. Looks like it may be egg casings. More on this later as I investigate further.
