A touch of sunlight

Just a little mushroom in the spotlight, deep amongst the forest trees. Caught the sunlight on it, which made the cap a glorious, rich colour. Found it on 6th August at the Bentz Lake Natural Area, north west of the city.

Several of us went back to the Bragg Creek Natural Area for the day today, to botanize a different part of it. Oh, the poor mushrooms were in such a sorry state - dried, withered and broken : ( No rain in our forecast for the next few days, either. Still managed to see some other interesting things though. Only got about an hour's sleep last night and the same two nights ago, so I am falling asleep at my computer here - and it's not even 6:00 p.m.! Later, almost midnight - thanks so much, everyone, for visiting - I fell asleep in front of the TV and woke up to find it was about 11:30 p.m. and of course I hadn't put all three of my photos into groups or added any tags, LOL.
