Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: maybe half inch across

This is one of my favourite kinds of mushroom to try and photograph - it was only about half an inch across, growing on a rotting log in Brown-Lowery Provincial Park on 4 August 2012. The cap is very thin and delicate and had a beautiful pattern and sparkle. I didn't see all that many fungi growing in the park and quite a few of them were not photogenic at all - I never go very far into the area, as I find it a very creepy place to be. However, I knew that at least one or two of my birder friends were going to be there that morning, so I knew that I wouldn't be there in bear and cougar territory completely on my own, ha.

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.
