Coral fungus


It's hard to believe that tomorrow is the start of September! Public schools here reopen tomorrow and no doubt many parents will heave a huge sigh of relief - and many kids will be happy to reunite with friends. Others will have very different feelings.
On a drive yesterday afternoon, it simply felt like fall. Two Magpies were the only birds I saw, and the landscape felt empty of living creatures. After a great summer of seeing so many things, it was a sad feeling to now see so little.
The smoke blown from the dreadful forest fires in the northwest United States had lessened by yesterday, 30 August 2015, so I decided to drive out to Brown-Lowery Provincial Park for a couple of hours. I made myself go into the park a short way, as there were a number of cars in the parking lot, so I knew there would be other people who would hopefully not flush any bears or cougars in my direction, ha!
Like on my previous visit, I found just a few fungi to photograph, including this small patch of Coral Fungus. It was growing against a fallen, rotting log that was covered with beautiful mosses. However, it was dark enough under the log that I almost didn't see this fungus - brightened it up once I had downloaded it to my computer. Leaves from the deciduous trees had started to fall and these will make it so difficult to see anything growing on the forest floor from now on.
