That was my initial thought. I will go with that. Thanks!
Thanks! It was probably Red Mulberry because that was the only species in the forest I was in.
Thats good enough for me! Thanks!
Awesome mushroom! I would say it is one of the many waxy caps-either genus Hygrocybe or Hygrophorus. I would probably say Hygrophorus miniatus-Fading Scarlet Waxy Cap. It likes to live in moss and its widespread across North America. It is very small as the width of the cap is usually 3/4" to 1 and 5/8," it only grows to be 1" to 2" tall and the width of the stalk is usually 1/8 of an inch thick. I am an amateur at best but that's my guess! Here are pictures: http://www.missourimycologicalsociety.or....
I agree with Painted Lady. American Lady is another similar species and has two big dots on its upperside and three smaller ones and two on the underside and Painted Ladies have four evenly sized dots on the upperside and four on the underside. Nice pic and awesome butterfly!
I am not an expert but that's what I would say...you can decide for yourself if you think thats what it is
Actually it was the same person twice but yea I would list it as that if I were you!
This is the Florida subspecies which looks much paler than the more medium colored eastern subspecies and the very heavily orange-colored California subspecies. Nice shot! This along with the Red-tailed Hawk are probably the two most common hawks in the southeast.
