Photos and blogs about the natural beauty of Aylen Lake

Labour Day Weekend or was it FUN-gus weekend

Labour Day weekend was great this year.  Lots of family including my son, daughter-in-law, daughter, grand-daughters, sister and of course my lovely wife.  The weather was warm, if a bit humid.  Most of the rain that we got came at night and it seemed like beach towels were never able to dry out because of the humidity.

That may also be why there was such a profusion of mushrooms.  I’ve seen some interesting fungi before but I don’t recall a short space of time when so many different species have been fruiting at the same time.

Here are some of the better photos that I (and my daughter) took.  As I am able to identify the various species, I’ll update the descriptions in the photos.
