Love the mushroom crack patterns, 2012

            Still not able to get out for new photos, so I am adding another five photos from my archives.  If I wrote a description under a previously posted photo taken on the same outing, I will add it to this evening's uploads.  

I had hoped over the Easter weekend to be able to go and see how I managed with driving my car.  Also, yesterday, I had to call the AMA to come and boost my car battery, as I couldn't start my car.  I knew it would be very painful (sciatic nerve or maybe bursitis, I think). So, this afternoon, after not leaving home at all in the last four weeks (!), I drove just as far as my local grocery store to pick up a few items that the delivery service is unable to bring.  Thankful to be able to hang on to the shopping cart for stability.  Such a relief to know that I now have all that I need for the next week, as I won't be leaving home at all, especially thanks to the weather forecast.  However, we desperately need every bit of moisture we can get.

"Alberta’s wildfire season typically runs from March 1st to October 31st, but on February 20th, Alberta’s forestry minister declared an early start to the wildfire season, The Weather Network reports (4-1-24).

Alberta currently has 57 wildfires burning, 50 of which have been burning underground since 2023. All but one of these 57 fires are either being held or are under control. One fire north of Slave Lake is listed as “out of control” and has burned an estimated 54 hectares so far."  From the FEA website, posted on 2 April 2024.

"A friend told me about a display of fungi near Fish Creek Park last year, so of course I had to go and check it out : )  Taken on 29 June 2012, near the edge of the eastern end of the park.  Wish I knew what kind of mushrooms these are - I love the patterns that form on the top surface of the caps.  They look so much like some of the Easter Hot Cross Buns that I buy.

Any chance that these could be Cracked-Cap Mushroom / Agrocybe dura?  Apparently, they are very common in wood mulch, which fits with my photo."
