We have had a very rainy week. And even tho it has not been great for people, the mushrooms are loving it! I took these photos with a visiting scout troop from Lovett. There is always something beautiful in nature to look at even if the day is gray.
Mushrooms found on The Preserve:
Hypoxylon Canker of Oak (Biscogniauxiaatropunctata). Both sexual (black) and asexual (white) stages.
Brown-toothed Crust (Hydnochaeteolivaceum)
Crowded Parchment (Stereumcomplicatum)
Violet-tooth Polypore (Trichcaptumbiforme). These have Fairy Pins (Phaeocaliciumpolyporaeum) on several caps
