Ground cover, after the rains

Crossing an unused picnic area at Oyster Bay, I almost stepped on the remains of a mushroom, bedded on soaked leaves.

Red alder and cottonwood leaves, half a gilled mushroom. I couldn't find the stalk.

Directly under the cottonwood trees, walking on their dropped leaves released a sweet, fruity aroma, with overtones of cinnamon. I had to stop and just breathe.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
