Took this photo yesterday and haven't had time to do more than a very quick search for the ID of this fungus. I don't remember ever seeing this species before. Found yesterday when I spent a wonderful day with friends, Dorothy and Stephen, starting off at Brown-Lowery Provincial Park (for the first few hours) and then a lovely treat in the afternoon when we went to a second park, West Bragg Creek. Two of my favourite places, and the weather was absolutely perfect : ) We found a reasonable number of mushrooms and other fungi (slime molds, etc.), too. Thanks so much for a great day, Dorothy and Stephen! Another possible ID is Clavulinopsis fusiformis.

This is a macro shot of a very tiny Sedge, growing at Bragg Creek Provincial Park, west of Calgary. It is common, native and grows on moist banks and meadows. Also known as Golden-fruited Sedge. The fruit are 2-3mm long, oval, plump, light blue-green to orange-yellow, fleshy and translucent when fresh, becoming white and coarsely ribbed when dried. Belongs to the Sedge family, Cyperaceae.
