Fungi family - and slime mold?
When I was editing this photo late last night, I happened to notice something that I had not seen at the time I took the photo. Right above the largest mushroom, you can see some tiny brown "tentacles". I am guessing that these are a slime mold. These six images are the last ones taken that day.
Three afternoons ago, on 21 July 2019, I decided to make a short visit to a forest area to check for any fungi. We have had so much rain the last few weeks, so I felt hopeful. However, the rain has made the plants and grasses grow well, but I didn't find much in the way of fungi. This was about the 'best' I could find. In fact, apart from a pair of pale brown, non-photogenic mushrooms, these were the only mushrooms I found.
As it was a Sunday afternoon, there were quite a few people in the area, so I felt brave enough to venture a little way into the forest itself. The trails were wet and muddy in many places, making all the exposed tree roots slippery. Quite treacherous, in fact. In one spot, I managed to get my right shoe wedged in between two horizontal roots and it took a bit of effort to work it free. Was it worth going? Not really, especially as far as fungi go, but I did get some much-needed fresh air and exercise.
There were a few butterflies, mainly White Admirals, and the wildflowers were the usual ones such as Purple/Water Avens, which I love to see at all stages, and Sticky Purple Geranium and Richardson's Geranium.
