Goldback Fern Prints and Purple mystery fungus!

 November 3,  2025- 

Found lots of mushrooms popping up after our recent rains. We found an eye catching purple fungus growing on a fallen oak tree, and I have not been able to identify it. 


Additionally found shelf mushrooms, (fun for drawing on the underside), and my favorite fern, Goldback Fern!


These ferns have powdery, yellow colored spores that release on impact, so if you find this fern you can place it on any dark colored clothing you have, smack it, and the print will stay!

Plants Identified- Live Oak, poison oak, blackberry, Goldback fern, shelf mushroom 

Animals Identified- Crow, Red tail hawk
