One of my cams in the Santa Cruz Mountains caught some fungi growing on a mossy downed tree. A total accidental time-lapse (the camera was triggered by critters, not fungi), but interesting none-the-less. First the cropped image.
Then the full version which I like, but distracts from the actual, growing fungi.
The first image was taken on 11/19/12, then 11/26/12, 11/27/12 and 12/3/12.
You can see growth in the less than 24 hours between image 2 and 3. It is too bad nothing triggered the camera between 11/27 and 12/3.
If anyone has any input as to what kind of mushrooms these might be feel free to chime in in the comments. Habitat was under a dense stand of redwoods. I am unsure of the species of tree they are growing on. Didn't dawn on me to pay attention until after picking up the cam, but it is probably a Douglas Fir. Try clicking on the images which will take you to Flickr where larger versions can be seen.
And one for oddity for your viewing pleasure, that we saw while setting up this cam. Wolf's Milk Slime Mold.
