always something new and surprising to see... I don't remember seeing this flowering shrub you see here ( in spite of the house you see here, it's not likely it was planted...) Some of the flowers are pure white, and some, reddish...and i found several specimens, large and small.... It isn't ninebark...which blooms later, and has quite different leaves. As usual, IDPlease would be appreciated !
The flower looks like a simple hibiscus, but the leaves seem to be different. Can anyone ID this for me?
The first two are slime moulds....the orange one being, I think, Lycogala epidendrum.
The second one I do not find in my Barron book....
and then further below, two groups of bracket fungi found on an old trimmed log , beside the shore of Lake Huron. I did not look at the pores beneath....I might have time to do so late tomorrow...and this will give me a better chance of identifying it.
IDPlease help is always appreciated.
I have no idea as to the identity of these (see right) moths, but there they were on my back door, large as life!

Dahlia or zinnia?

Thanks Mr Barbol for the ID.
Passenger on the Coral Princess between L.A. and Vancouver. Thanks to Langooney for the ID - it's a flycatcher. Doesn't look at all like our local to Houston variety of scissor-tailed flycatchers.

shot today...including the underside of a very small piece...about 2" or 3 cm across...pores are tiny ( and the bruises were caused by me, trying to pull the bract off the log...eventually I used a ballpoint pen to cause avulsion !!!! Brutal...I should carry a little knife.
The third shot was taken two weeks ago...the colour intensity has increased in the two weeks.
I like the pattern !! ( that's obvious...)
But I cannot seem to find the ID in my Barron book...and as usual, Ill appreciate help...thank you !
I think this mushroom I found last week is Pholiota malicola... though it exceeded the measurements found in my Barron book... ( it was at least 11 cm in diameter...) ...the book says 10.... but the deep red- brown spore print gives me a possible ID. If you disagree, please let me know. Also, the top had not reached the shiny stage. It was growing on the ground, beside some woody shrubs, in a cluster. This was by far the largest one.
To do a spore print, place the inverted cap, minus the stem , on paper, cover overnight, and look the next day.
Some spore prints are white or very light coloured...so you might have to use coloured paper., if you suspect such a result.
One of these is a female mallard but I haven't a clue what the other one is? Looks like maybe a juvenile Green-winged Teal?
At the A. K. Sculthorpe Memorial Marsh this morning in Port Hope Ontario!
Pretty Ballerina
I had a date with a pretty ballerina
Her hair so brilliant that it hurt my eyes
I asked her for this dance
And then she obliged me
Was I surprised, yeah
Was I surprised,
No not at all

Anyone know what flower this is ?
Large mushroom..... Gills, diameter 6" or about 15 cm..... Producing a white spore print... Mixed woodlands SW Ontario Bruce County...
ID will be greatly appreciated.
Adjacent photos will show gills, and sporeprint.
four views , over 24 hours, of a beautiful mushroom that I think is a member of the Marasmius family...but does not correspond with any species exactly, in my Barron book.
Common here last year, on the ground, on woodchips...only a few specimens this year...this is quite a large one...about 3.5" or 8 cm. in diameter...it is very short-lived.
I brought it home for a spore print..... ( (white print) and an hour or two later, it had begun to curl, with the lacy black edge you see in the third pic. The fourth pic is from this morning... it has shrivelled to less than half the size it was a day ago.
IDPLease would be greatly appreciated!
so beautiful to see...
and they don't bite me !!
I have been having difficulties shooting some fungi in the dark woods, despite using a tripod...because the mosquitoes bite...I try to bat them away... and can't hold the camera steady ( no more cable releases...)
I like these bugs much better !
I don't know these two dragonfly species...ID Please will be greatly appreciated...thank you !

Here is a link to Arizona species identification, but a look at every one of them did not give an ID:
Arizona Species Database of International Odonata Research Society/
From all the searching, I believe it is a Darner. I just got an ID a few minutes ago as: White-belted Ringtail (Erpetogomphus compositus)
The closest similar dragonfly I found has an image here:
www.dragonflies.org/ma_1ms.htm
I'm waiting for reply from a dragonfly expert and hope to post with the ID soon.
Sent this photo to ID Please on flickr with hopes some of the members able to help. This guy is about 3 1/4" from head to tail. Let me tell you I held still for the stillest an ADD person can get for this unexpected shot. I'd been photographing the neat tall grasses found on the streetcorner at 40th Street off Camelback, going towards the Phoenix Mountains. The set, with all 5 images is here.
I've had 3 ID's now as "white-belted ringtail" so that is now the ID and the mystery is solved. Thank you everyone for your help and interest!
I'm still really busy, but just uploaded this to find out what it is - the ID group on Flickr is fantastic!

Kennt wer wen bitte? Anyone who knows someone please?
Our family inherited (long ago) old glass negatives. Many of these images depict Vienna and Austria at the turn of the 19th and 20th century. Finally i find time to scan these old treasures and want to share them.
Scabiosa is a genus in the teasel Family Dipsacaceae of flowering plants. Members of this genus are native to Europe and Asia. Scabiosa plants have many small flowers of soft lavender blue, lilac or creamy white colour borne in a single head on a tall stalk. Scabious flowers are nectar rich and attract a variety of insects.
Found in the forest, South of Munich. If you know these beetles (green and brown ones) I would be happy if you could name them. For the green one I have already a (german) ID, thanks to red-sequoia.
Die Tauben-Skabiose (Scabiosa columbaria), auch Tauben-Grindkraut, ist eine Pflanzenart aus der Gattung der Skabiosen (Scabiosa).
Würde mich sehr freuen, wenn jemand den dunkelgrün metallisch glänzenden Käfer bestimmen könnte. Der Name der komischen hellbraunen Kugelkäfer wäre natürlich auch interessant. Der grüne Käfer ist etwas ca. 1,5 cm lang (ohne Fühler), im Wald südlich von München aufgenommen.
Dank red-sequoia haben wir eine Bestimmung für den großen Käfer: es ist ein Blaubock. Der Blaubock (Carilia virginea) ist ein Käfer aus der Familie der Bockkäfer (Cerambycidae). Sie kommen überall in Europa vor, nur nicht im Südwesten. Sind vor allem im Bergland von Süd- und Mitteldeutschland häufig.
all these mushrooms are , I think, the same species...and a spore print was a light brown.... all were found in the same area...all on the ground, except a couple adhered to old fallen branches...and a good search of my Barron mushroom book has not given me the ID of this species...and I would really appreciate some help...thank you !
thanks to the flickr contact , Geodeos .....below...I found this note on MushroomExpert.com
" Gyrodon merulioides
[ Basidiomycetes > Boletales > Paxillaceae > Gyrodon . . . ]
by Michael Kuo
This odd bolete can be found in summer and fall wherever ash trees grow. It features an irregular brown cap, strongly "boletinoid" pores that are angular and widely spaced, and a stem that is almost always off-center, or even lateral.
Although it appears only under ash trees, Gyrodon merulioides is not actually mycorrhizal. Rather, it is involved in a symbiosis with Meliarhizophagus fraxinifolii, the "leafcurl ash aphid" (Brundrett & Kendrick, 1987). The mushroom'm mycelium forms little knots of tissue ("sclerotia") that surround and protect the aphid; in exchange the aphid's honeydew gives nutrients to the fungus. Meanwhile the aphid is busily doing damage to the ash tree.
Description:
Ecology: Found under white ash trees and other ash trees; probably involved in symbiosis with the leafcurl ash aphid, Meliarhizophagus fraxinifolii (see details above); growing alone, scattered, or gregariously; summer and fall; widely distributed in eastern North America (perhaps also in the southwest).
Cap: 5-20 cm, irregular (nearly convex when young, becoming wavy and nearly vase-shaped, or more or less flat); light to dark brown, sometimes reddish brown; dry, tacky when wet; soft and leathery; sometimes bruising darker brown.
Pore Surface: Pores elongated radially, sometimes appearing almost like gills, with many cross-veins; tubes shallow; running down the stem; yellow to olive, bruising brownish to olive to almost blue (sometimes not bruising); not easily separable.
Stem: 2-4 cm long; .5-2.5 cm thick; not central (sometimes nearly lateral); yellowish above, cap color or darker below; bruising darker brown.
Flesh: Whitish to yellowish; sometimes bruising slowly blue when exposed.
Odor and Taste: Not distinctive.
Chemical Reactions: Ammonia blackish, then reddish to orangish on cap surface; brown on flesh. KOH blackish, then reddish to orangish on cap surface; brown on flesh.
Spore Print: Olive brown.
Microscopic Features: Spores 7-10 x 6-7.5 µ; smooth; subglobose, or elliptical to ovate. Pleurocystidia to about 35 x 10 µ; lageniform. Pileipellis a cutis of mostly erect, cylindric elements 6-9 µ wide. Clamp connections present."
Thank you !!
I have made three trips to the spot where I found this unknown...to me... pretty little wildflower...and I don't find it in any of my books....( perhaps it is a grass ??? rather than a flower...? )
The stems are sticky...and the flower buds are bright red....turning white as they open.
One flower stem per plant.
I have never seen them before...they were abundant on this path through the ski-trail woods, in SWOntario, near Port Elgin, beside Lake Huron... I battled low light the first two evenings I was there, a strong breeze, mosquitoes, and a too-short tripod....so this morning I picked some and brought them home for a clearer photo.
The leaves are about 3-4" long...several centimetres...flat, elongated, at the base of each separate plant.
I really would be VERY pleased if someone knows what these are....please help !!!!
I am very grateful for the help with the name of this flower.
Particular thank you to Bárbol and Margareta Sarring for their help.

Found growing up into a tree (so a weed?) in Adelaide, South Australia.
Near UNISA Magill Campus, towards the Hills.
I'm quite new to fungi and still learning, my mate Frank Gardiner who is very knowledgeable is hoping that this might be Cortinarius privignoides? if anyone can help to confirm the I.D it would be much appreciated.....cheers

Tava la na piscina curtindo um solzinho,entao me deparo com essa criatura estranha...Q parece mais o capeta...ai não sabia que nome por e minha namorada o chamou de Jorge. Depois posto mais fotos, ele tem menos de 1cm.
I think this is a damselfly (I will have to call for help from ID please)...these are numerous in the meadow below the gardens...and they do NOT sit for portraits. I was very lucky to get this one ( threw out a half dozen...and was very surprised this was ok)
To my friend Roe Empleo who always inspired me with this kind of images... Cheers! Hope you like it!

I drove past this yard on Sunday and saw these large mushrooms in a circle. I thought
they were fake. This bothered me, so I returned on Monday to find most of them
had disappeared, but they were real. I trespassed to grab these.
Just what you always wanted, a newly created Mushroom & Fungus set.

Large mushroom
East Central Indiana
August
This is from my archives.
I've been very busy lately, and the weather didn't help.
Taken at Santa Rosa de Calamuchita, Cordoba.
a nice find in the last few days...in SW Ontario, mixed woodland, Bruce County...two groups of these attractive mushrooms...not quite like anything in my Barron book...individual mushrooms about 3" across ( 5cm), with light coloured gills as shown...spore print produced a very rich brown print...spores scattered beyond the outline of the diameter ... spores were produced rapidly.
This could be Pholiota malicola....though the tops are not yet shiny.... I have been watching this for at least three days now...
I have found a couple of other related varieties...I am pretty sure it is one of the Pholiota species.
Opinions would be appreciated ...thank you !
I took these three pictures all in the same day, over at the Buford Trout Hatchery. I actually do no that the last one is a Bluebird! The first two birds were in the same tree, but I don't think they were the same species. I know the second one is a flycatcher of some sort, and I had thought Mockingbird for the 1st, but I still need to check it out.
