A couple of fall finds...

It’s been so long since I’ve been able to get out and walk the woods, plus it’s been so dry until the last couple of weeks that when I did get out, I wasn’t finding anything. Yesterday’s walk yielded the beginning of a tiny mushroom that I’ve never seen before and a log full of one of my favorite tiny cup fungi - bisporella citrina - better known as yellow fairy cups. It’s been a couple of years since I last saw it so I spent as much time in the waning evening light photographing it as much as I could. Hopefully it will still be viable to photograph again today when I get home from work, but my experience with the mycetes family is that it can be there one day and gone the next. I will also try to keep an eye on the tiny (.5 cm) mushroom to see if it becomes something I recognize.
