The ditch had gotten too narrow with no place to walk. So we had to find a way up. This brought us back out to an open meadow next to the railroad tracks. We headed down along a fence to get back to the ditch.
The tracks were fenced off.
Heading back to the ditch, we came across this gully/canyon. It was forty feet deep! Watch your step!
In the recent rains, the waterfall must have been awesome!
Indeed an orange polypore shelf fungus was a beacon on the log. It might possibly be Tremetes cinnabarina. However since I did not collect it so this is not a certain ID.
Club fungus are like little orange flags.
Another great starry night Van Gogh knot!
Finally for today’s post, nails in a fallen tree that were part of a deer blind. I will finish up the Aug. 3rd outing tomorrow.
Ive never seen a shelf fungus that color before. Such a bright orange. Gorgeous.
I occasionally see them (orange shelf fungus) here in our woods too. It is a show stopper!
The tree knot, if you turn your headsides to the right, reminds me of a sloth. Eyes, nose & the squiggles are fur.
I can see that yes!
