One of the largest wolf spiders I've found. I was barely brave enough to take a couple shots! 😅

Lady beetles can have anywhere from zero to fifteen spots depending on the species. Those spots are actually on their hardened wing covers called elytra.

Weird and Gilly from the forest floor yesterday. A butter cap perhaps? It's always hard to tell for sure.

Mycena "sp-AZ03" that Scott Ostuni spotted near Fox Mountain, Colorado last year. I just got a sequence of it back from Mycota Lab. This probably undescribed species currently only known from Colorado and Arizona.
