The light was just too harsh to get a decent, detailed photo of these little fungi, but I thought they were still cute enough to post : ) Not sure, though, if these are tiny mushrooms or if they belong to a lichen that produces very similar mushroom-like growths. I find it too difficut to tell the two apart. Seen when a few of us spent the day botanizing at the Waiparous trails, high above the Ghost River, NW of Calgary, on 31 August 2012.
