North Fork Yuba River, Canyon Creek Trail, December 1, 2007

No flowers in December, yet the forest is rich with life. As I have only begun to learn about fungi, I have very few IDs, but many pictures. When these were taken, I knew little about mushroom identification; having participated in, and learned a great deal from, the Yuba Watershed Institute's Fungus Foray the following week, I will gather more facts from future finds. My family IDs are guesses. Thanks to Alan for the ID on #106, and Julie for #105.
