Fungi

            Our deep-freeze continues today, 15 January 2024, though a few degrees warmer.  The temperature this morning, just before 11:00 am, is -25°C (FEELS LIKE -34°C).  The forecast high for tomorrow is -8°C (FEELS LIKE -14°C).  The price we will have to pay, though, is that another snowstorm arrives tomorrow and the next day.   According to the forecast, things should be looking a whole lot better starting on Saturday, 20 January.

"A once-in-a-generation cold spell that has hit various regions in Alberta will slowly begin to loosen its dangerous grip as the week wears on. But just as we start to break out of the deep freeze, there will be some snowy implications likely to cause travel impacts and slower commute times for parts of the province into Wednesday....  By the time all is said and done later on Wednesday (17 January 2024), Calgary could end up seeing 10-20 cm of snow."  The Weather Network.

I am adding three photos from my archives today.  If I wrote a description under a previously posted photo taken on the same day, I will add it under today's uploads.

"Not sure if these are Coprinus, but I just like the way the cap edges curl up and over.  Could these be Coprinopsis atramentaria?  Seen at Rod Handfield's acreage, SW of the city, on 17th August.  We had heavy rain AGAIN, overnight - surely this has to keep the mushrooms a-coming?  

We saw a handful of beautiful Shaggy Manes/Inky Caps yesterday, on a walk at Clearwater Park.  Yet another dull day today, so I guess I will stay home.  Feel sorry for anyone hoping to spend some time outdoors this long weekend.  Hoping for sunshine tomorrow."
