Oh! I thought I'd made new #fungifriends this afternoon, but I think this is in fact liverwort. Very pretty all the same and tiny - these are maybe 5mm or less in diameter.

Lobaria pulmonaria coming alive after desiccation. This was over the course of about 5 minutes. Note the striking orange apothecia. We will be holding an "Intro to Lichen" nature walk in the Timber Park tomorrow, more info on our website. #quesnel #fungifriends #lichen #mycology

Tremella - looks like a classic ascomycete but is actually in the division basidiomycota. #quesnel #fungifriends #mushrooms

Beautiful mushrooms turning the wood blue. I don't know their name, I just photograph them. MH, USA

Peniophora rufa (Red tree brain fungus) is always a fun find on our local trails.

The snow is melting fast, this must be our 3rd 'false spring'. Lots and lots of beautiful Cladonia species being revealed. #fungifriends #lichen #mycology #quesnel

T'is almost Verpa season, harbinger of Morel season. In Quesnel, we find these pop up about 2-3 weeks before morels are in full gear so are a good way to prepare for a morel hunt. Do you eat Verpas? Do you like them? #Quesnel #fungifriends #mushrooms

Plicatura crispa, this lovely little mushroom grows in winter and spring here. Always love to look at the gills, not sure why we didn't manage to get any good shots of them the other day.

Today’s hike, I think I came across an Orange Mock Oyster. I’ve never seen one before, but I’ve never hiked this early in the season. It was like frozen and snowy two days ago. #fungifriends #erie #mushrooms

Cerrena unicolor (Mossy Mazegill) Largest flush of these we have found, we are always amazed by the elongated pores on this fungus. #quesnel #fungifriends #BC

First mushrooms of the season! Stinking Orange "Oysters" (Phyllotopsis nidulans) Lucky for us, they didn't actually stink. #quesnel #fungifriends
