We got another beautiful day! I had decided to use it to do my fall walk-through of the trail section I maintain. It was an easy amount of work. I had time to look for interesting details. This is the best.
I'm pretty sure this is a false chanterelle. Cute.
Still on the topic of mushrooms and fungus, this is some variety- I have no idea what- but see how it's growing in sort of a net pattern? The mycelium is under the bark and it puts up fruiting bodies in the softer cracks between the plates of the bark.
The bottomland hardwood swamp is completely dry. I've seldom seen it without any pools of water. This tree decided to become a terrarium. Probably Intermediate Wood Fern.
This just made me chuckle. It's an apartment building for some critters. I wonder who lives upstairs.
The trail work was easy. My section is in good shape. I only pulled a couple of small, downed trees off the path, clipped a little, and flipped away loose sticks.
Oh, a pic of my piece of trail? Sure.
And I did laundry and some editing.

Oh, it’s a rabbit hole—Alice’s head was once stuck inside it. How embarrassing that was.
LOL at the critter apartment building. The trail looks very nice.
rainfield- it would be a small rabbit, but I'll bet a chipmunk would fit just right.
Ann- we all work very hard at keeping our 80 miles in good shape
Java Bean: "Ayyy, could we get directions to that hollow tree? I would like to shove my face in the holes. Just to perform an inspection of course."
Bean- I believe your nose would fit just fine!
