Orange Beauty
These amazing little orange mushrooms are a variety of Marasmius…some of the worlds smallest mushrooms belong to this family.
The height on these were almost 2 inches…the cap only about 1cm.
Found on a NE Kansas foray on a property COVERED in woods…A first-time find for me. Most everyone else had stepped past them as they’d seen this species in several other spots. I guess I was slow. We had about 15 people on the hike including my son and another member’s granddaughter. A GREAT hike…starting with an amazing amount growing on HORSE PUCKY! I couldn’t have driven home happy right after seeing that display. I tend to walk slowly so everyone was done except the leader of our group who stayed back with me to hunt (probably because he was afraid I’d get lost).

Hans Bax
Wonderful again, Carla!
Carla Jandelle... replied
thank you Hans! (we have a fellow in our mushroom group with you’re name!)
Doug Wilkening
You did well to take any quality photos at all while hiking with such a large group. Usually if I am out with anyone besides myself, someone is tapping their foot impatiently trying to hustle me along.
Carla Jandelle... replied
exactly! one benefit to small groups is usually that they’re closer to things in common…such as the leader of our group is a photographer like me…so we’re BOTH slow…..
others in our group just charge threw and pick as they go without taking notes or recording the area finds are at UGH!
guess which side i prefer to hike with? lol
another couple we hike with…is an older couple who REALLY know their stuff…i think they’re in their 70’s? and i can’t even BEGIN to keep up with the energy those 2 have! i have to take a nap halfway threw the hike just to catch a breath…lol
Adam Bykowski
Such a beautiful shade of peach, orange, and creamy white like a nature’s version of a dreamsicle ice cream bar. Excellent macro and the soft light and colors make this work for me.

thanx Adam…for good memories and for the comment/view
