Very dusty crusty and dry, tan colored slime mold on dark brown wood chips. The slime moldโ€™s top layer is chipped apart to reveal a brown spore-filled center.

Some drying out roadside mushrooms the ones in the front can be seen that their skirts are colored by the reddish brown of their spores. Behind it can be seen green foliage with some peeking blue sky, and a thick trunk with a dark cavity.

Unfortunately I am still having issues walking and am seeing a rheumatologist, hoping for answers (and medication). Havenโ€™t been on a good walk in a bit. But hereโ€™s a stinkhorn!

Schizophyllum commune (common name split gill) tightly packed onto a maple limb flanked by pale green Parmotrema lichen. The schizos are a beautiful cream color. The picture is taken so you can see the gills.

Pair of Bonnet (Mycena) mushrooms with a very small Katydid nymph sitting atop one; the Bonnets are conical shaped and flattening, light gray-brown with darker striations and umbo, stem is dark and slender. The Katydid nymph is bright green and very small, but mimics the adult form of a Bush Cricket.

Amandaโ€™s hand behind a very thick-stiped mushroom with beautiful reticulation. The stipe is a tannish-yellow, and the cap is a velvety brown. The capโ€™s width is less than the stipeโ€™s, making it look extra round.

white delicate-capped mushroom growing out of a log. The cap has very pronounced gills and the stipe has a ring. There is a little pile of sand and dirt on the top of the mushroom, and some lichen and moss off to the right side.
