May 15, 2011Gymnosporangium juniperi-virginianaeSteve

Almost mistook the Cedar for an orange tree, there were so many. Also took pictures of the rust phase on the adjacent apple tree.

#1 Huge Dryad’s Saddle

May 5, 2011Mushrooms, Polyporus squamosusSteve

The second-largest specimen I’ve ever seen. We picked it off a doomed tree in Johnson Park and made one of the Park Ranger’s day. It made the whole trunk smell like watermelon on the ride home.
