I'm ending up the year posting photos of mushrooms. Maybe that's appropriate; many of them grow, preferably, in the secret dark.
But down there in the dark, there are still flashes of light and colour.

| Orange mushrooms, Miracle Beach woods. |
 |
| Orange jelly, possibly. Oyster Bay woods. |
 |
| Witches' Butter? Oyster Bay woods. I like the way the sun shining through it warms the shadows. |
Witches' Butter and Orange Jelly are difficult to distinguish without much close inspection. I could easily — easily — have mis-identified them.

Termino el año subiendo fotos de hongos. Tal vez sea lo más apropriado; la mayoría de los hongos se hallan creciendo en lugares secretos y oscuros. Como lo fue este año.
Pero allí en la oscuridad, todavía hay rayos de luz y color. Como estos hongos amarillos y anaranjados.
1. Sin identificación.
2. Probablemente Dacrymyces palmatus, "gelatina anaranjada".
3. Tremella mesenterica, "mantequilla de brujas". Creo. Puedo estar equivocada.
Estos dos últimos se confunden facilmente; sin un examen con más detalle.

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!
