We had a wet season on the mountain this year. We live in the high desert so this is rare! It was a terrific change from the scary fires we had burning on the mountain last summer. Amazingly the fire fighters saved all but one cabin that was unfinished and in a very remote area. The fire burned almost all summer long and smoldered for months! It was very scary for cabin owners and animals! My brother's cabin could have been taken by it. He, along with many others, were very blessed that the Lord sent miracles like the winds changing direction and other things that the fire fighters cannot explain other than by Divine intervention! Anyhow, lots of fun fungi and mushrooms formed this year! My husband, children, and I have put in MANY hours of work and yard clean up to get our fixer upper cabin more fire proof, lived in and less abandoned looking! When we bought the place it looked like clean up had not happened in 20 years. Around thirty five trailer loads later, it looks much better and would help the fire fighters out if there were ever another fire!
One of the days we went up to do yard clean up I noticed all the fun mushrooms and fungi that had grown because of the moisture. On this day, like most days, all I had was my cell phone. I took some picture of the fungi and mushrooms that I saw when I was taking a break from clean up. I think the cell photos turned out quite awesome! I have a iphone CS4. To take the photos I just got in very close to the subject and locked the screen by holding my finger on the screen until it said lock. It is a good thing I took the photos this day because the next week when we went to the cabin the mushrooms were all dried up and mostly gone. |
