Yesterday, we took a walk along the brook and spotted 3 (seemingly) large mushrooms on a fallen tree in the water. My wife scrambled down the embankment to see if she could get a photo to ID them. All the photos came out blurry.

I’m guessing they might be Oysters or maybe Dryads Saddles. They’re huge.

I’m going to go back later today and see if I can get closer via the other side. Any guesses?

A woman is standing on the side of a brook using her phone to take a photo of what appear to be mushrooms growing on top of a dead tree on the other side of the brook. I added 3 red arrows to the photo to highlight where the mushrooms are. The brook is approximately 20-25 feet wide and between 6 and 24 inches deep depending where you stand.

Found a little lollipop outcropping of #gloeophyllumsepiarium on the walk yesterday. Such great colors.

With the freezing weather last week I thought the Honey mushrooms got a dose of frost/snow, but it was a sudden release of white spores. #fungi #mushrooms #honeymushrooms #armillariamellea

A cluster of approximately 30 Honey mushrooms growing out of a dead tree. They are brown, somewhat aged, and some have a sprinkling of white powdery spores. They are arranged in shelves so the spores are from the mushroom above it.

@ickplant Yeah, this is worth seeing. Never knew this hadn’t been filmed before.

@TedG I agree with @JB The 3 leafed holly is quite nice. I like them all but that one would be my pick.

Morning view of a brook. The brook is about 20 feet wide and extends out of sight. There is a large hemlock tree that has fallen, connecting both sides of the water. There are patches of sunlight on the water where you can see the rocks under the water. Large hemlocks and birches line the banks.

Top down view of Pippin, a 16 year-old torti Siberian Forest Cat, so there’s lots of fur and several shades of brown and orange with a little yellow, white and black mixed in. She is curled up on my lap.

12 second video of a male moose walking on a wooded path at night. After it disappears off camera it must have circled back because you see a large puff of breath fill the camera view.

Nighttime still of a large, male moose. Its antlers are slightly tilted downward as the moose walks down an old lumber road.

@EllieK This looks wonderful! This album brings me so much joy. I don’t think there’s a better 9 minutes in rock than “Summer and Lightning” leading into “Mr. Blue Sky.” I have a Japanese pressing of this that I love but am interested in this release with all the extra goodies!

A small cluster of 6 Dryad Saddle mushrooms growing out of the top of a sawed-off stump. They are gold/yellow in color with lots of small patches chy brown markings on their caps. The stems also have a similar brown patchy pattern though smaller in size.

@DorisPeacock Thank you! It was at eye level and staying fairly still so you’d think it would have been easy but my iPhone just couldn’t focus on it. I took around 25 photos before I got a usable one!

A Marbled Orb Weaver spider slightly suspended from a Dogwood tree branch. It has a large perfectly round orange abdomen with intricate brown markings, almost like etchings. Its legs are also orange with black and stripes toward the ends.

72 hours in the life of a slime mold.

This week I discovered a slime mold taking over an old stump behind the house. Over the next 3 days I took a picture of it at the same time of day. Notice the section that grasped the twig - how it then didn’t proceed like the remainder of the mass. Once slime molds leave the plasmodium stage and enter the fruiting stage, the change is FAST.

Picture 1 taken on Tuesday. White slime mold that resembles cauliflower on the face of a tree stump. One patch of it has grown around and enveloped a living twig. At the edges of the slime mold which is about 14 inches across are patches of what looks like slug trails but are actually the plasmodium stage of the slime mold.

Picture 2. On Wednesday (24 hours later) the slime has decreased slightly in size and darkened to a dirtier white/pink   color. Some of the slime has hardened.

# orderedItems[].object.attachment[].name
Picture 3 on Thursday (24 hours after picture 2). The slime continues to harden and is now well into its fruiting stage. The color is purple/gray.

# orderedItems[].object.attachment[].name
Picture 4. On Friday (72 hours after the 1st picture) the slime mold is hard, nearly crumbly, and black. Soon it will begin to fall apart. Doing so will aid in spore dispersal.
