Forest of Fungi

It looks like coral on land but it’s a fungi called Ramariopsis kenzei. I saw some as small as my fingernails and some almost as long as my fingers along the pathways of Murphy’s Point Provincial Park. They're always fun to spot because the structure almost doesn’t look real. I would see them in clusters and they would remind me of an underwater reef. This fungi is technically reported as non-toxic and edible but it’s recommended that you don't eat them because there are many dangerous lookalikes that can cause severe abdominal pain and illness. They’re also not that tasty.

Surprised Mink!

Imagine my surprise when I'm scanning a pond for wildlife or birds and I look down! I think this sweet little Mink was as surprised to see me, as I was to see it! :)

Baby Destroying Angel

Pushing up through the foliage is an Amanita bisporigera (Eastern destroying angel). The brightness of its white is what caught my eye, despite how small it was among the leave and grass. These fungi are commonly seen across eastern North America but don't touch them because they're deadly and toxic. If this little one survives foot traffic and wildlife consumption, it'll grow taller and its cap will fan out to an impressive diameter.
