Fungi....

As you can see, things are "damp" and fall is living up to its name. This is one of the boardwalks through the woods at the wetlands and I have to walk carefully down this wet path of leaves so I don't slip."follow the yellow leaf road"
The geese and ducks were intent on their feeding, but I notice that there are some fungi on that log with the geese. Not much of a shot of them, but there were lots of other fungi on the fallen trees in the woods nearby.
Here we have green lichen as well. I don't know one fungi from another, but there were lots of this brown type.

This patch looks old and thin and dry.
I like the look of the colorful stripes on them.
This leaning tree was just covered wtih the stuff! I guess I should have lightened up these photos a bit.
A close-up
It looks like an "rash" of some sort spreading over the limbs :-)
Anyway.....it was interesting to me!

Very interesting photo's Mary. Those poor ducks look like they are being sucked into that green water.

We're seeing quite a bit fungi around here as well, but I don't have the wonderful pictures you got.
