More Summer Fungi August 20, 2008
Posted by Jennifer Schlick in fungi, hiking, photography.trackback
I couldn’t resist going back to the Westside Overland Trail to get some photos of the fungi that I mentioned in a previous post. So last Saturday, I returned. The sun kept peeking out from behind the clouds, so I hoped to be able to get a few decent shots in natural light. I don’t know what any of these are called, but I just had to post them…
All this from a Saturday afternoon walk… And there were several species not pictured here… either too far gone, or too difficult to photograph due to light conditions or location…
This world is so incredibly beautiful and there is such a diversity of life… It takes my breath away.

What an interesting and beautiful collection! It’s like the spring wildflowers starting all over again.
Wow! Even purple!
Wow, what stunning variety! I haven’t paid much attention to fungus since the morels in the spring, distracted by other stuff I guess. I need to start looking for it again.
Really gorgeous!
I am amazed at the colors! I know just how you feel.
Hey had fun last night with the Purple Martins. So good to see you again.
Amazing diversity. Thanks for sharing!
Truly, such beauty and intricacy in nature is an absolutely stunning byproduct of natural selection.
Wow! Those are some amazing fungi! I had no idea there could be so many different colors and shapes out there!
Wow, i’ve been bemoaning the fact that I haven’t seen any good fungus lately. I guess they’re all up north with you!
Thanks!
