What-What?! Week of October 21st

Last weekend we went hiking at Deering Wildflower Acres, and saw a lot of fungus.

Shelf fungus of some kind.  These were actually very pretty.


Mouse-eye view

Teeny-tiny guys

Lots of mushrooms, even in the trees!


I am still always surprised by how much Oz does not like hiking.  He likes walking, he likes being outside, but for whatever reason, he does not like hiking.

These ones had a really waxy texture -- kind of like the rind on parmesan cheese.  Yeah, I poked 'em.

There were a bunch that had these sawtooth edges.



These shrooms were papery.

I CAN SEE YOU!

Coral fungus, which is very cool.

This one is the perfect umbrella for a mouse or a snail or something.

BONUS!  This is my son reading a book.  You see how he's not holding himself up with his arms?  That's because he needs his arms to keep his shirt out of his face.  Well, at least he's reading.
