I took this shot last year and unfortunately I have not seen this species since. They are very cool, though, so I'm looking forward to my next encounter.

The forests outside Eureka, CA, are some of my favorite spots to find a variety of Mushrooms.

A Slug or Snail left a gooey trail around this Bolete. Unfortunately, I arrived a little too late and couldn't find the culprit.

This is actually a photograph from last year. I have a lot of photographs from the recent past that I'll be posting alongside more recent content. Now that the new website is wrapping up, daily posts will continue once again so you can check back often and still see new stuff to enjoy.

Coral Fungus is always a fun discovery when out in nature. It's not super uncommon but uncommon enough that this unique Fungi always gets our attention. By our, of course, I mean my Mushroom loving wife.

On a walk through the forest on my way to a waterfall one morning I found this tiny little Mushroom growing out of a hole in this log that was on the ground. It wasn’t tall enough to stick out the top of the hole but I hope that it made it. The hole was probably created by an Acorn Woodpecker.

On a hike I stumbled upon a fallen tree with some Turkey Tail thriving on one of the broken ends.

I hope to take many more photographs of Mushrooms this year. I find photographing Mushrooms actually a bit more challenging than wildlife. Mushrooms don’t move around so there is only so much to work with. Getting dramatic lighting in forests is also very tricky, especially right where I need it. I take a decent amount of Mushroom photos but only share a fraction of what I capture. I want to share good photographs with you, and I’m very picky.

I’m not sure what kind of Mushroom this is. Most are very hard to identify just by looking at it. Sometimes in order to identify mushrooms you need to taste, cut, spore print, etc. I generally just take photographs and don’t mess with those other things. I remember my wife liked this pair when she saw them.

Fresh rain always brings out the Mushrooms.
