I barely noticed this narrow piece of tree bark lying on the forest floor, tipped with these very small fungi. I had noticed a tiny patch of white in among the trees and was happy as can be to find these photogenic mushrooms. I did hold it up in a sunnier spot a few feet away.

A tiny fungus that was growing on a fallen log at Maclean Pond, off Elbow Falls Trail, Kananaskis. Photographed on 18th October last year, which was way past the end of fungi season, so I was very happy to see this.

This little fungus was maybe half an inch across, on a fallen log at Maclean Pond, off Elbow Falls Trail (Highway 66), i.e. west of Calgary, on the edge of the mountains. Split Gill is my guess, but I could be wrong : ) This was taken on my last drive out there, on October 18th, thinking that by now we would most likely have had a few inches of snow. Actually, there was some snow at Maclean Pond and at Forgetmenot Pond - had to kneel down in snow to take this shot : ) Now, our weather is mild and on the forecast last night, I think it was Wednesday or Thursday of the coming week that was supposed to get up to 23C. Absolutely crazy, but oh so welcome, for November! Perhaps it's my doing, LOL, as I just got a remote starter installed in my vehicle in the hope that it would start the ice on my car windows melting, to make it easier on my arms and hands to scrape. Thanks to John (GORGEous nature) for the ID confirmation, Split Gill fungus (Schizophyllum commune). Much appreciated.
