Autumn Walk in Lennoxville

The weather was willing to cooperate today, so I went out for a walk at Parc Atto Beaver in Lennoxville. Here are some pictures from the walk. The leaves are really colorful this week, so I wanted to enjoy them before they are gone.

Mushrooms

I love mushrooms. I love to eat them, and I love to take pictures of them. :)

Unfortunately, I don't know enough about them to identify them growing in the wild, and I'm totally paranoid that I would make a mistake identifying one and poison myself, so the only ones I eat come from the store.

I'm not sure what these are, but I was really pleased with this photo:




Here are some others that I saw on a walk today at Fraser Beach. I had never seen any like them before:









I have tentatively identified these as "coprinus comatus" mushrooms. There is more information about them here and here.
