The fungus among us

I took the opportunity to take a walk in the woods on our property and down along a stream that passes through the east end.

There aren't any flowers to photograph this time of year, but I did find some interesting fungus that had sprung up in the fairly wet weather that we have had in the past few weeks.

This toadstool was popped up our of the leaves on the forest floor.

I saw several of these small white mushrooms with some speckles on top.  These were about an inch-and-a-half high.

These are some of those same mushrooms pushing up through some leaves.

This fungus was growing out of the side of an old sugar maple tree that had fallen across the stream.

Another of the same type of fungus, this one taken without a flash.  Some Virginia creeper grows down behind it.

Another type of fungus growing out of the same log.
