A textured rim
Came across this small (maybe an inch across?) mushroom yesterday, when I went for a short walk through the forest at the end of Elbow Falls Trail, Kananaskis (beginning of the mountains). I don't know if it just happened to be drying out or if this species actually does develop a rim with a different texture. This might just be the last time I drive out to the beginning of the mountains until next spring/summer. A good part of this highway is closed for the winter months, and I never drive out to the open part in winter, in case my vehicle breaks down or I slip on ice and break a leg or something.
By the way, this morning, I was on a bird walk but stopped to take a few photos of the bright red berries on a Thorny Buffaloberry shrub. Not content with a distant photo, I decided to get closer and in doing so, slipped on some very slippery fallen leaves. I was clutching my camera, I suspect, when I landed on my side. When I got up, I felt lucky to still be in one piece - and then I noticed the third finger on my right hand, bent and unable to be straightened. Well, I spent almost five hours at the Health Centre!!! I haven't broken my finger, but it looks like there could be a very fine fracture. The main thing, though, is that I completely ripped the tendon off the bone, which is why my finger was totally bent. Yuck! They X-rayed it and then they put a splint on it. If I bend the finger even slightly and for just a fraction of a second, it will rip the tendon off again while it's healing and I will have to start all over again. They expect it to take 6-8 weeks (most likely 8) IF I don't bend the finger when changing the splint. What a pain, especially as I knew I was going to HAVE to do things like see to my backyard, CLEAN the house, etc., etc., etc.. Long walks should be slowing down somewhat and everything (and I mean everything!) has been put off till now. Guess I won't be doing any of that stuff now. Driving is awkward, too, which is a nuisance. However, it could have been a leg or my back, so I'll count myself lucky! Not sure how well I'll do on my computer - using the mouse is painful, so I may have to slow down a little on Flickr.
