I am reading all your messages. Thanks so much for this encouragement. I think my FB friends think I am crazy. My fungus FB album has 172 photos. HA! It is very moist in the woods where I live and perfect for all kinds. This is a new hobby and I am loving it. Everyone here at Project Noah helps with ID and love the rangers. :)

This one is just fabulous CSM. You're getting a great collection.
A thought just occurred... 'in-tune' peoples (like from indigenous cultures?) could possibly read exactly what the daily weather conditions were for the past few weeks. Wonderful nature!
