Title: The Last Rays of Indian Summer
Post by: basilsdad on October 28, 2014, 17:22:53
Saw this toadstool as I was scurrying around trying to tie up loose ends in the yard before it gets much cooler.  Couldn't resist taking a picture.   :)

Nice we were doing some Rhododendron removing (commolny called 'Rhody Bashing') the other week on the Conservation course I started last month and there were loads of interesting and beautiful fungi on the way including a classic fairlytale red one with the white bits, by lucky coincidence I'd just bought some books from the visitor centre when we stopped there earlier one of which was a book on fungi although it's still difficult as hell to try and identify them, I spotted loads of different ones last year going out doing conservation work.   

Anyway as usual I digress that's great photo and a perfect looking fungi congrats on finding it in such good condition. The Klickies look as though they're having a great time enjoying a bit of late season gentle sunshine, hope you didn't leave em out there to long it can get a bit chill when the sun goes behind the clouds particularly in swmming costumes  ;).

Thanks all.  Temps here were in the mid 70s, tomorrow's forecast is for highs in the low 40s and snow is forecast for the weekend, so all swimwear will be stowed away.  Scott, you and your little buddies were my first thought when I spied that fungi.  Knew it was a photo op.  :)
