March 18, 2011

On November 4th 2010, Adolf and Oluna Ceska and I climbed slowly up the
Slektain Trail in John Dean Park. looking for fungi.

Over the course of several hours we found no fewer than 168 species,
a few still unidentified and very rare.  Most were basidiomycetes, though there were 7 ascomycetes.

Here are pictures of some of the most interesting species.
The most conspicuous is the green and yellow parrot mushroom,
but the other more drab pictures are of even more unusual species.
If anyone wants the names, they can E-mail me.
