Fungi and Jellyfish !

[pitdog]

One of the highlights for me this time of year is seeing all the different Fungi on my hikes. My knowledge of Fungi is sorely lacking but I still enjoy admiring their shapes and colours !

I think these are Yellow staining mushrooms:

On the way to the Inlet I found some pretty fresh deer tracks:

Once at the Inlet I started making a fishing spear but the wood kept splitting unevenly so in the end I gave up and used it to make a fatwood torch:

Check out the size of this Jellyfish I found at the Inlet, Maisy and Snicker went in for a closer look !

I then began the steep climb back up through the forest toward the Trail head parking lot:

Found some more Fungi as I made my way back:

Fantastic pictures thanks for sharing, I had no idea fungi were so beautiful. I live in the desert where we have nothing but cacti and rattle snakes. Check out my pics from my hike today. Thanks again!

Love those creatures, fungus and jellyfish.
Looks like it is interesting to your dogs as well as we humans...

I like the fur bristling on Maisy's back as she approaches the jellyfish. 'Cuz ya never know.

Awesome photos as always bro, I think you are one of the few here that like observing fungi as much as I do. Splitting a fishing spear can be a pain with certain woods. That is a big jelly fish, no wonder it caught the dogs' attention.
