Eaton Canyon

Last week Sean and I hiked to upper Eaton Canyon via Idlehour.

We hiked from sunrise to sunset. Not bad for a 12 mile hike.

I was on a mission to find fungi after the recent rainstorm.

The canyon did not disappoint as we were surrounded by a lush green forest with overflowing streams, mini waterfalls and an array of cool mushrooms.

Here's some more fungi

I know some of them from the pictures. The yellow jelly is commonly called witches butter (tremella aurantia). It is parasitizing the false turkey tail ( stereum hirsutum) which is the small orange shelf fungus in one of the other pictures. The cute yellow one is called yellow field cap (bolbitius titubans). I think the one with the broken stem is also. And I'm guessing the white orbs are puffballs (genus clavatia).

all the rain has brought out some really cool mushrooms -- thanks
