Description

Day 1 of one of the greatest vacations ever! Full journal of nature adventures here: http://www.inaturalist.org/journal/sambiology/9891-vacation-in-california-news-flash-i-like-california

Using the great existing observations from the San Francisco Bay area and species guide to help with the ID's -- but please correct me if I've goofed. Almost ALL of these organisms were new for me!

These were from Candlestick Point State Recreational Area -- it was a bit busy with folks today, but we were able to spot some really neat things nonetheless. Today was a mighty windy day too!

Description

Return visit for March2020 to check out the fruiting progress. I've never noticed they go a kind of orangeycolour before.

The area was pretty dark when I got there, but the cluster I found was lit-up by the sun reflecting off some nearby windows. Had to adjust the camera a bit to get the saturation/colouring as close as it was in reality. Got pretty close I think.
