Blue fungus : )
This was such an exciting find three days ago, when a small group of us were fortunate enough to have the chance to explore a new area of forest and grassland. Thanks to the Metz family, we saw a few things on their land that we don't usually see. Taken NW of Calgary, not too far from Water Valley, on 29 July 2013. This is one of the very few fungi that I know the name for (if I AM correct, lol!) - Hydnellum caeruleum. A few of its common names include Blue-green hydnellum, Blue corky spine fungus, Blue spine and Blue tooth. I was just looking at the link below (such an excellent website, that I have visited for the last few years) and one of the photos on the page shows this species oozing pigment droplets. I'm beginning to think I am right when I was wondering if a previous photo I posted was connected in any way to the Hydnellum caeruleum fungi seen in my photo today. They were growing on opposite sides of the trail. We thought the one I posted yesterday was perhaps a Slime Mold, but now I'm thinking that it was some stage of the Hydnellum caeruleum fungus. Wish I knew far, far more about fungi than I do! For the most part, I just take the pretty pictures : )
