Friday.
As per usual, this is yesterday's proof of actifitivity.
Another gloomy greyish day with barely any sunshine. But I guess after such a dry summer, that shouldn't be a cause for complaints.
@isnogud came for a visit and we took a little hike out to the beaver creek. We saw plenty of mushrooms along the way until we found one in particular that absolutely captured my attention.
I have never seen this species before. There's a few mushrooms I know that grow in a similar shape, but none of those comes in candy apple pink!
I removed some of the surrounding leaves to get a closer look at the base and quickly decided this specimen would make for a good subject for a rare proper contribution of mine to @ewkaw's #FungiFriday initiative.
But of course, if I am making a proper #FungiFriday contribution, I'll want those pictures to stand out and look their best. More colour, more contrast!
I gathered some patches of fluffy moss to cover the ground and some leafy sticks to create a little scenery in the background before taking the final @snaepshots arranged like this:
You can see the shiny pictures and some other pretty bonus shrooms over here, posted on my @snaepshots account.
And since this is a Friday post, I'll also have to give you another update on the decaying chicken-of-the-woods. Pictures taken on Friday morning.
The mushroom has lost most of it's substance, but it doesn't look that much worse compared to last week.
I'm beginning to wonder how many more of these Friday updates there will be. I would have expected to make the last one this week, but as it stands right now, I'll have to follow up again next week.
Thanks for your time!
