Happy fall, everyone! Here, our temperatures are forecast to plunge to 0C this weekend (28 and 29 September 2019), along with SNOW for a few days! Noooooo!
The poisonous "Sickener" mushroom looks very similar to the mushroom above, but has a pure white stem. The one in this photo has a stem that is pale pink at the top and white lower down.
Instead of posting more mushroom/fungus photos tonight, I had thought about uploading a few totally different images. However, I have ended up starting to post photos (8) from today, 22 September 2019. We were fortunate enough to be invited to explore another acreage SW of the city. It is so interesting to see that various acreages, really not all that far from each other, can have some different species.
Again, I drove myself instead of carpooling, as I had been invited to a friend's birthday party and needed to get back to the city by a certain time, in order to get a ride with another friend. From years of experience, I know only too well that once you get our enthusiastic leaders into the field, there is no telling how long they will stay out there! Normally, that is fine, but today I had a deadline.
The weather was beautiful for our bioblitz, which was so much appreciated, as there are snowflake icons in our weather forecast in a few days' time. It still definitely feels like fall, though, and golden leaves were constantly falling to the ground, making it a challenge to see any fungi. Many of the mushrooms we saw today have started to rapidly decline, but others proved to be of interest. One of my favourites was a mushroom that had a number of water droplets on its cap. I could be wrong, but I suspect that these were guttation droplets, Usually, I see these on Red-belted polypores growing on tree trunks, so it was interesting to see these on the cap of a smallish mushroom.
We were warmly welcomed by the landowners, Michael and Marie-Claude Singleton. Marie-Claude accompanied us on the walk, which was great. Their beautiful property is a mix of mowed lawn (that certain mushrooms love), grassland and forest. They have a beautiful pond, too, edged with very healthy cattails and other water plants.
Thank you so much, Michael and Marie-Claude, for inviting us to come and see what is growing on your land. The coffee, too, was just what was needed after time spent outdoors.
