  lol.. while that is actually possible - the area is known to produce gold and parts of this trail actually are an old road that lead to a mine not very far from where I took that photo, alas I did not find any lumps of gold ;-}. I'm not actually sure what was mined there though... there are other things that were sought out in the area silver, tin, even asbestos! Posted 6 years ago

    Alright, then I'll comment on the dead insect, and fungus growing out of a fungus. There's quite a lot going on in this scene :) Posted 6 years ago

The Clitocybe glacialis

''Clitocybe glacialis'' is a species of mushroom in the family Tricholomataceae. Formerly known as ''Lyophyllum montanum'', this is a snowbank mushroom, always associated with melting snow along snowbanks and thus ''glacialis''. Originally described by Alexander H. Smith in 1957, this North American species is typically found growing under conifers on mountains.
