I took pictures of the last mushrooms of the year, on Thanksgiving, but I did not get a chance to post until just now!
It was unusually warm on that day, probably around 60 degrees which is very warm for late November here. I didn't expect there to still be mushrooms growing in the woods, but there they were...not the vivid shades of July, no bright reds or sulfurous yellow, no garish blues and purple or strange mossy greens.
Though a few still spring strange and corpsy, smooth waxy curves of flesh protruding from the cold bark of trees.
There's a flourish of strange orange-yellow color among the rotting leaves though.
And the flaky purple fungi creeping up this log, looks rather like oyster shells.
See how big they are in comparison to my green glittery nails!
