A little find in the forest

03 Oct 2010 203
Three of us spent a day botanizing at the Perrenoud Wildlife Habitat Area, north west of Calgary, on 24th September. The main purpose was to search for Lichens, though I always go everywhere with an open mind (LOL!), ready to photograph anything I think is beautiful and/or interesting. When I caught up with the other two, they had found this cluster of very tiny mushrooms (diameter of caps may have been around quarter of an inch at most) on a rotting log in the forest, together with a very small white mushroom (which I'll post some other time). I love the bright colour of these little guys - but it also makes me feel sad because fungi season is over for us, for another 10 months or so. During the endless cold, snowy winter months, I'll be posting some of the fugus photos that I'm hanging on to or else haven't yet really looked at, in an attempt to lessen the effects of mushroom withdrawal symproms ... sigh!
