Our lovely rain has helped out the fungi and mold! They are springing up. Certainly, a time to keep your eyes out for these important members of our ecosystem!
Colorful leaf litter!
The mold/fungus was taking over the remains of a horse apple.
So soft looking!
Shelf fungus!
Mold growing next to the shelf fungus!
Fuzzy!
The backside of the above fungus, the Common Split Gill makes it a standout in my book!
Could these finger fungus be a fairy forest? Or perhaps the fairy version of Easter Island? Often times when you look close, a brown mite or two will pass through. I did not get a very good photo of mites today.
However, the little beetle was cooperating on this mushroom!
Popping up in our field as well.
Same mushroom, but from the fairies’ perspective. 🙂 Of course this is assuming fairies are small. 😉
