Wonderful

After yesterday's promise to try to identify the plants in my photos, I have to confess I have been unable to find out what this mushroom is called. I need to find some good field guides so if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. As for the moss, I'm pretty sure we're looking at a species (one of the 350 or so) of sphagnum.

    Sorry, I can't help you identify them. But, I'll just take the scene as a scene and it is very well done.

    Pretty weird looking mushroom. Don't florists use sphagnum moss in arrangements?

    This one looks like an ice sculpture. Are you sure it's a real mushroom?

    Lovely catch. Looks like it's a Pseudohydnum
