A greenish-ocher colored banana slug, its upper tentacles extended and its body covered with dark spots, creeps onto the top of an orange leaf.

I saw lots and lots of adorable tiny mushrooms

My finger for scale pointing at two tiny mushrooms with pale stems and dark caps growing in the rotting bark of a fallen tree. The mushroom caps are just a few millimeters wide. To the right are a few more mushrooms, larger, with caps the size of my fingernail.

And much bigger shelf mushrooms and a tiny slug.

A strange shelf mushrooms on a fallen tree. It looks like it started growing the normal horizontal direction while the tree was still standing, and after the tree fell, it started growing in the new horizontal direction.

Looking up under the same mushroom, there's a tiny snail peeking out the bottom.

A lot of joggers and hikers passed me while I was crouched down taking photos on the ground. I was thinking how funny it was that nobody ever stops to ask what I'm looking at. But then a man stopped and asked me and my son what we were looking at. We were looking at this. He chatted with us for a good ten minutes about mushrooms and ducks and turtles. Nice guy.
