FUNgi
The Rain Crow (also known as the Yellow-billed Cuckoo) was yakking about all the rain! Glad the sunshine returned this afternoon. Well, it was the perfect day for seeing what FUN-gi had popped up.

As per my usual, I had to cut it open to see if had a different color (sometimes they do).

Stinkhorn lost its stink!

Hollow stem was the give away for it being a stinkhorn.

You can probably tell from the grass blades, this was a small one. I like the ridges on the cap.

Must be edible to something since it has been nibbled on.

These were almost translucent!

Just a pair!

This little yellow one stuck out like a candle burning!

Lots of nibbling!

Another amazing tiny mushroom! This one I noticed while I was taking a shot of a moth.

I believe this is a different species from the other one I found the other day. Pencil lead is for size comparison. It seems to be a bit hairy and doesn’t have the skirt at the attachment point to the twig like the other one. Pretty cool!
And that was the FUN- gi today!
