Two things:
1) I never thought I would see Bird’s Nest fungus.
2) I had no idea they are so tiny.

This image shows a fascinating collection of bird’s nest fungi (likely species from the genus Nidularia or Crucibulum), which get their name from their resemblance to tiny bird nests with "eggs" inside. These small cup-shaped fungi contain peridioles—the dark, round structures that look like eggs. The peridioles contain spores and are spread by raindrops that splash them out of the "nest." Surrounding the ripe fruiting nest parts are the closed buds of dozens more.

The trail definitely didn't disappoint this morning!

A shot looking at the head and body of a gorgeous regal moth. This guy was about 3-4 inches long and is orange and white. Its head is very fuzzy and its wings have orange veins and several distinctive white spots. The caterpillars of this moth are called hickory horned devils, and they're some of the coolest caterpillars I've ever seen!

A plant called Ghost Pipe! This plant is white (no chlorophyll) and grows in shoots that curve downwards at the top, ending with white bell-shaped five petal flowers. This particular plant had four shoots/flowers growing in a cluster and was about 6 inches tall. This plant is parasitic and steals nutrients from the roots of other plants.

A shot of an beautiful turtle looking at the camera. She was nearly a foot long (!!!) and has beautiful yellow markings on her face, neck, and legs. Her shell is fairly flat but has a beautiful muted pattern on it. I believe it's a female (based on size) chicken turtle, but I've asked iNaturalist for confirmation.

Celebrating #FungiFriday with officially the teeniest mushroom I've photographed; I'm still pretty new to real macro photography and it's proven to be quite the challenge, particularly on film, but wow is it satisfying when the effort pays off!

color film photo of a pair of tiny, light brown mushrooms growing from a dense carpet of short, green moss; they have narrow stipes each leading to a round cap that curves slightly inward around the edge; looking closely at the cap, one can see that it's covered in tiny white granules and seems to be ever so slightly pleated, creating the appearance of dark stripes running towards the edge where the gills are presumably attached inside; in the foreground, the blurred outlines of several even smaller specimens are visible
