thanks suzmonk for the encouragement. Wish now that I had photographed the trees closer up so I knew what kind of forest it was they were growing in.

Hi Pamsai. I really like that your last photo is sometimes a shot of the larger environment where a plant or fungus is growing ... gives me a much better feel for the organism. Thanks!
