Fungus, Pringle Mt forest walk

Because I posted several photos from this important trip several days ago, I was thinking that I would be able to go back and copy/paste the description that I wrote for those first few images. When I checked, I remembered that I had been too busy to write anything at the time, so I have to start from scratch for today's posts. It's nearly lunch time and I haven't had breakfast yet, so I think I need to eat first, type second. Will be back ....

NOTE: all these photos were taken deep in a wonderful, old forest without sunshine. I had been hoping that it would be bright and sunny, as I know from experience, trying to photograph fungi on an overcast day tends to result in less than sharp images. We were lucky, though, that we only had bits of rain. Also, I need to wait for the IDs for all the fungi - our friend, Karel, is the one with a lot of knowledge on this subject.
