Life on a leaf stalk

Well, on a very enjoyable walk at Votier's Flats, Fish Creek Park, yesterday morning, no Northern Pygmy-owl, no Northern Goshwak, no sign of the two Coyotes we saw a few days ago, no Three-toed Woodpecker. Everyone tried their best to spot at least one of these amazing birds, but we were totally out of luck yesterday morning, LOL! I'm really glad that I had walked this area a few days ago and seen all but the Woodpecker. You just never know what you will see - or not see : ) I was happy though, because my eyes happened to spot these two teeny Marasmius mushrooms growing on the end of a small leaf stalk near the path. At first, I thought they were two white berries on the ground (that were everywhere). At least a few friends got to see THESE - I think they were amazed at the size of these little one-inch-tall fungi. Love their bright orange stalks.
