This picture was taken July 27, 2008, in a mixed hardwood forest in Green Lane, PA. I always seem to find them growing on fallen branches in damp weather.

I love nature, science, poetry, prose, art, music – you name it! Now that I’m retired, time is mine to spend as I wish (pretty much), and I wish to take pictures of our natural world.
Bringing the outdoors in for others to see, especially those who may not get the opportunity to wander next to a pond, fish at the beach, or tramp in the woods, is a pleasure. I hope to build a window to the wonders of nature that fill our everyday lives.

There was mention of that common name. It’s descriptive in the marvelous way many mushroom common names can be. I called them acorn mushrooms until they were ID’d.
Oh, this one is interesting, I haven’t seen it before. Love the name. well captured.
You ’re kind & thanks. Apparently they are not uncommon, but they are elusive here. Cute little buggers.
