Gosh, usually I am so available to share here on my blog. Summer has been a busy time for me. Which feels truly like the spirit of summer! Especially if you live in the north with full on seasons. Summer is the time to do outdoor projects, camping trips, water activities, picnics and potlucks under the shade of trees and under the stars. I have been doing all that and more. For example, with my dear friends A&C, I have been making fire wood:
We are hoping there is three years worth in these piles!Annie taught me how to use the chainsaw!
Now to share some shrooms, fungi images from my recent Canada trip:
I do believe we have a russula here:
I find this little guy with it's big old trunk to be so charming (that is a tiny pine cone, not one of the big old ones we are use to):
A blogger friend told me about the little white critter with an X on top next to the mushroom in this image. It is a spore capsule for the moss. They are a type of moss called liverworts which are typified by the long delicate spore capsules. The capsules are round in the beginning, but assume an 'X' after they open up and release their spores:
I love the little critters!
Thank you ~ Brian
