Description

I stepped on a very rotten log and this is what I discovered. It was poking out of the log in several places and intrigued me.

Description

It was on a leaf that had food for the slime mold to eat. It was bright yellow and was most likely so visible because of the damp conditions created by weeks of rain.

Description

I was walking through a path alongside a gravel road and happened upon this tree. It was a beautiful tree, but I had never seen it before in the area. It's petals were long and thin with a whitish pigmentation. The leaves were dark green and had a pointed tip. It was growing in a relatively shaded area.
