Growing on a log
This was one of the treasures of the forest that was found when a few of us spent the day botanizing at Rod Handfield's property, on 17 August 2012. We always reckon that Rod's property is one of the best areas for finding a good variety of fungi. My knowledge of fungi ID is very limited, so I tend to call anything that looks like this, Turkey tails.
Though the number of fungi was far less than some previous years, we still managed to find quite a few different species, making the day very worthwhile. If I remember correctly, 2010 was the last really good year for fungi. Apparently, this year is turning out to be really good, too, now that we have had endless rain and thunderstorms. I will have to be very patient though, as I won't have a car that I can drive further than down the road to get groceries, for the next while, until I have chosen and bought a new vehicle. A worn-out muffler lets everyone know that I'm coming, ha. Except for this weekend, when wonderfully a friend is picking me up to go on a day of mushroom hunting with other friends in the forest at Rod Handfield's property. Unfortunately, the weather forecast is for no sun and an 80% chance of a thunderstorm, which sadly means no decent photos of mushrooms and probably a shortened hike. Actually, they have just (11:00 am on 5 August 2016) issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch for that area. Later, early afternoon - the same weather alert is now for the Calgary region, too.
