After the rain

A dry winter in NorCal so far, but we got a splash the last day or two. Foothills Park is vibrant and starting to spring...

Two varieties of Hericium, on nearby logs... H. erinaceus...

... and H. coralloides...

Moss, yerba buena, and miner's lettuce among downed bay laurels...

Moss (Dendroalsia?) likes the weather...

Lichens are likin' it too...

Silk tassel (Garrya elliptica), peak bloom... up close the flower looks like a chain of lacy bells...

Bay laurel doing what it does best...

Something yellow and slimy...




And some wee club-like fungi, sharing space with some wee ripe puffballs...
