Daily Photo: 20190122 Mushrooms still appearing . . .

Except for a couple days of freezing temperatures, we've had a very moderate winter, and mushrooms keep popping up here and there.

Over on the wood pile, rather protected by tall pines, these delicate little guys were growing up between a couple of logs, nicely placed at eye level for my photographing pleasure. iPhone 8+ image.

Morning walk

Yesterday's walk ended up in our yard, where there, on the wood pile, I noticed turkey tail mushrooms (Trametes) growing on a log.

According to Google, these fungi are edible and can be made into a tea. Well, I'm neither that fond of mushrooms nor of tea to risk dying just because "Dr. Google" says it's okay. The turkey tails will remain unmolested there on the woodpile for years to come.
