Tiny treasure on cow dung

02 Jun 2013 260
This was a tiny mushroom, maybe half an inch across its cap, and growing on a long, thin, white stem, found growing on cow dung. It seems to be attached to this piece of dead grass, so I couldn't remove it, as it was such a fragile fungus. Seen on 31 May, when a few of us did the May Species Count at the Whaleback, 171 km south of Calgary. Rained pretty much all day, but the scenery was amazing : ) Sorry, everyone, it's another post and dash day. It's the annual Bus Trip for a group I belong to amd we are heading NW of the city to near Red Deer, to visit three wetland areas. When I checked the forecast late last night, it was for thuinder showers this morning and this afternoon ... sigh. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
