A fascinating mushroom cap


This rather blurry macro shot is of one of several small mushrooms I came across at Maclean Pond, W of Calgary, along Elbow Falls Trail, Kananaskis. This mushroom was at an older stage and I just liked the dark rim and the pattern on the top. Taken on an afternoon drive on 12 June 2014.
In Calgary, August is said to be the peak of the fungi season. The last two or three years have not been particularly good years as far as fungi go, but the ones that I did see were pretty special. Last year, of course, Alberta's Flood of the Century closed down city natural areas and parks and all of the mountain areas that we would normally go to. This year, our fungi "expert" has just broken his leg in an accident, so unfortunately we will be without his expertise and the two or three fungi forays he has led in the past.
