I'm slowly trying to catch up with things while at the same time limit my 'screen' time. My eyes seem to tire very easily. So I am doing a lot of things to keep the eye strain down to a dull roar.
Crab Spider waiting to pounce on a woolly aphid aka known as a Fairy Fly...
Club Fungi close up and then with an SD card next to it for getting an idea of how small this was! [If you click on the photo, you should be able to see it much larger.]
I'm pretty happy about finding the club fungi. This was the very first time I'd found it and actually knew to look for it.
Old slime mold that has dried up.

Drum roll please...
Chocolate Tube Slime Mold.
It has other names but I thought this was the neatest.
It also had some interesting interviews regarding the use of the ingredients of the Psilocybin Mushroom and PTSD and depression.
Oh I like the Chocolate Tube Slime Mold...what a cool name. WE may get rain on Friday! :)
ReplyDeleteYou sure find and make a lot of tiny stuff interesting!! I don’t get close enough to see such things. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteUsually our woods are not so terribly buggy so I have time to stand still and look at logs and am now learning where to look for these things.
DeleteI can appreciate the fact that you took your time to closely observe and identify the different fungi because it shows you were in tune with nature. I do look at those sorts of things but don't take the time to identify them other than what others have told me about. I always said that one day I would love to learn how to gather wild mushrooms to eat. Nice collection of photos-thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt is just a hobby that was started by curiosity. In 2009 I started to go out every day and try to find something 'new' in the woods. So it kind of kept going from there.
