Fungi are quite interesting, but also difficult to ID. That does not stop me from photographing them though... In Dec. we visited our daughter who lives near Santa Cruz, CA, and I took lots of photos, and tried to ID them using online resources and her very detailed book on fungi of the redwood forests... Just way too many look almost exactly alike!
Nice photos today! I especially like the white one growing out of the side of the stump, for some unknown reason... Just looks neat.
Hmmm - but today is supposed to be 76 here in Gainesville! And even warmer as we go south to the Keys.

2 years agoInteresting! Sure glad there weren't any wasps around when we were there as there sure were a LOT of nests.
2 years agoHmmm - maybe. I sure don't know the pine species in the South.
2 years agoHa! Didn't know wasps made cannoli shells... :-)
2 years agoAre you sure? I’m thinking cannoli shells. Is there an Italian deli nearby?

2 years ago Mud dauber wasp nests. They lay eggs there, and then stuff it with spiders, etc. they paralyze with a sting.

Thanks, I thought it might be a grebe of some type.
2 years agoPied billed grebe, I think.
2 years agoThat's too bad. I've been tempted to pick fruit that's on the public right of ways.
2 years agoThanks Bill!
2 years agoAfter graduating, I lived in east Phoenix and worked in Tempe. No car, so I rode my bike the 10 miles, much of it being on canal maintenance roads. They are much improved now.

I tried looking online at identification guides but they weren't much help. But it was fun trying to locate them!
