A sight for sore eyes ....

..... especially when August, which is supposed to be the peak of fungi season, has arrived, but you've barely seen a fungus of any kind anywhere. Just a few very unphotogenic specimens, along with some Boletes and maybe three or so beautiful individuals. So, we were happy to see this large cluster growing on a tree trunk while we were botanizing the land around the Medicine River Wildlife Centre (north of Calgary), July 19th.
