Urban Nature Pictures 11/07

On Sunday we went to the Lost Pond Reservation. I was surprised at how many mushrooms I found, despite how late in the fall it is.




I was about to take a photo of a dead leaf on the moss when I noticed this little mushroom (possibly a Mycena) poking out of the moss-covered stump.


Another translucent beauty was on the ground nearby.


This members of this group of Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms are all in different stages of decay.


A lovely little clump of Stereum ostrea polypores, on a mossy log decorated with the detritus of the season.


A pigskin earthball amid more mosses.


This mushroom is unknown to me, but possesses undeniable dignity.

I love the dignified mushroom picture. It reminds me of a Claude Ponti illustration. (Who, if you've never heard of, you should totally check out.)

Fantastic fungi pictures. The first one has beautiful colors.

If you did a mushroom calendar, I would buy 3.
