We hadn't gone out for anything more than a 5km walk through the woods, but a damp late August and September produced a good variety of mushrooms and fungus along the Mer Bleue trails. Bees and late blooming flowers were very much in evidence.
There were some hints of the fall colours to come, but the effects of the May 21 windstorm was still vey apparent, and will be for a few more years.
The fall fall asters were in bloom. They always attract several varieties of bees, but there was also a face fly (which I had never heard of) and a small coral spider on the asters too.
The false solomon seal plants had produced lots of berries and surprisingly there was still the remnants of a white trillium standing tall.
But as for the mushrooms.....
There were reddish ones....
There were white ones..
And yellowish....
There was fungus on fallen branches, stumps or tree trunks
And brownish ones, and just emerging ones
