Skyline with Kate

We are way behind on my mushroom hike blogging. WAY behind. Last weekend (I think!) our cousin Kate visited, and brought her very own mushroom guide. You seriously cannot ask for a better guest than that. We saw many mushrooms, and Andrea already blogged about the ladybugs. We also saw these. The first one is a brown cup. The next picture shows the bird's nest mushrooms. Those tiny little mushrooms have even tinier little disks in them, so they look like little bird's nests. The last one is a purple fungus we saw growing on the end of a log. Not only was Kate a great mushroom hunter (it runs in the family) but our friends Conor, Finn, Lisa and Pat were awesome too.

Happy New Year

We haven't posted in a while because of Christmas and parties and mushroom hunting. Liam got a camera from Santa and the pictures on this page, Liam took with his own camera. 

Here's a cute picture of his little brother:

This is a slime mold, probably Orange Jelly.
This is one of two fly agarics we saw today. Last week Liam and his dad saw several huge ones, as big as dinner plates.
We will post a few more in a minute. Liam has taken over 500 pictures so its tough to sort through them all. Happy New Year.
