Came across a LOAD of these growing on substrate, various stages, and sizes. Can't trace them in any of the fungi books. Any ideas?
Florida Caverns State Park is a state park of Florida in the United States, part of the Florida State Parks system. It is located in the Florida Panhandle near Marianna. It is the only Florida state park with air-filled caves accessible to the public.
The limestone caves in the park have stalagmites, stalactites, and flowstones formed by the erosion of bedrock. Other formations are above ground, including rivers and springs.
Florida Caverns State Park and the neighboring golf course were constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps as part of the New Deal. The park opened in 1942.
The park is notable for its geological features, a protected area of karst topography. This geology hosts an ecosystem with plants and animals that are adapted to the limestone substrates. The caves and waterways have blind crayfish, bats, salamanders, and other species. Native Americans inhabited the area, and it is a site of archaeological interest.
The park allows nature study, exploring, and sightseeing. The 9-hole golf course is open. Other activities and amenities in the park include camping, hiking, boating, horseback riding, and fishing. There is a visitor center with interpretive exhibits and concessions. Rangers conduct several tours daily.

SN/NC: Alcantarea Imperialis, Bromeliaceae Family
Imperial bromeliad is a herbaceous plant, rube, of great proportions and high ornamental value. It is atemle, with long and wide leaves, coriaceous, with a snare surface, arranged in rosette and forming a "pot" in the center of the plant, where it accumulates water and nutrients. Its roots are strong, fibrous and lend themselves not only to plant nutrition, but mainly to its strong fixation on the substrate, so this bromeliad is fixed even on vertical rock walls. It is risky of being extinct. Its beauty call everyone’s attention including also birds (especially the hummingbirds) and bees.
A bromélia-imperial é uma planta herbácea, rupícola, de grandes proporções e elevado valor ornamental. Ela é acaule, com folhas longas e largas, coriáceas, com superfície cerosa, dispostas em roseta e formando um "vaso" no centro da planta, onde acumula água e nutrientes. Suas raízes são fortes, fibrosas e se prestam não somente para nutrição da planta, mas principalmente para sua forte fixação sobre o substrato, por isso esta bromélia se fixa até em paredões rochosos verticais. Corre risco de extinção. Atrai beija-flores e muitas abelhas com suas belas flores de cor creme. Uma planta muito vistosa, lindíssima.
La bromelia imperial es una planta herbácea, rube, de grandes proporciones y alto valor ornamental. Es atémvil, con hojas largas y anchas, coriáceas, con una superficie de trampa, dispuestas en roseta y formando una "maceta" en el centro de la planta, donde acumula agua y nutrientes. Sus raíces son fuertes, fibrosas y se prestan no solo a la nutrición de las plantas, sino principalmente a su fuerte fijación en el sustrato, por lo que esta bromelia se fija incluso en paredes verticales de roca. Corre riesgo de extinción. Sus flores de color crema llama muchas abejas y colibris. Una planta linda y que llama mucho la atención.
Keizerlijke bromelia is een kruidachtige plant, rube, van grote proporties en hoge sierwaarde. Het is atemle, met lange en brede bladeren, coriaceous, met een snare-oppervlak, gerangschikt in rozet en vormt een "pot" in het midden van de plant, waar het water en voedingsstoffen accumuleert. De wortels zijn sterk, vezelig en lenen zich niet alleen voor plantenvoeding, maar vooral voor zijn sterke fixatie op het substraat, dus deze bromelia wordt zelfs op verticale rotswanden bevestigd.

Il est atemle, avec des feuilles longues et larges, coriace, avec une surface de caisse claire, disposé en rosette et formant un « pot » au centre de la plante, où il accumule de l’eau et des nutriments. Ses racines sont fortes, fibreuses et se prêtent non seulement à la nutrition des plantes, mais surtout à sa forte fixation sur le substrat, de sorte que cette broméliacée est fixée même sur les parois rocheuses verticales.
La bromelia imperiale è una pianta erbacea, rube, di grandi proporzioni e alto valore ornamentale. È atemle, con foglie lunghe e larghe, coriacee, con una superficie rullante, disposte a rosetta e formando un "vaso" al centro della pianta, dove accumula acqua e sostanze nutritive. Le sue radici sono forti, fibrose e si prestano non solo all'alimentazione delle piante, ma principalmente alla sua forte fissazione sul substrato, quindi questa bromelia è fissata anche su pareti rocciose verticali.

Es ist atemle, mit langen und breiten Blättern, coriaceous, mit einer Snare-Oberfläche, in Rosette angeordnet und bildet einen "Topf" in der Mitte der Pflanze, wo es Wasser und Nährstoffe ansammelt. Seine Wurzeln sind stark, faserig und eignen sich nicht nur für die Pflanzenernährung, sondern vor allem für seine starke Fixierung auf dem Substrat, so dass diese Bromelie sogar an vertikalen Felswänden befestigt ist.
بروميدال الإمبراطوري هو نبات عشبي، روبي، ذات أبعاد كبيرة وقيمة الزينة العالية. هو أتيمل، مع أوراق طويلة وواسعة، coriaceous، مع سطح كمين، مرتبة في روزيت وتشكيل "وعاء" في وسط المصنع، حيث يتراكم الماء والمواد المغذية. جذورها قوية، ليفية وتقرض نفسها ليس فقط لتغذية النبات، ولكن أساسا لتثبيت قوي على الركيزة، لذلك يتم إصلاح هذا bromeliad حتى على الجدران الصخرية العمودية.
Cette grenouille Boana sp. est apparue sur un morceau de bois et était brune puis elle a bougé sur le sol et a changé de couleur. Chaque fois qu'elle changeait de substrat elle changeait progressivement de tonalités (voir les autres photos). Je pensais que seuls les caméléons pouvaient faire cela... 1600 m anm, zone rurale de Cali, département du Valle del Cauca, Colombie.
This Boana sp. frog appeared on a piece of wood and it was brown then moved to the ground and changed color. Each time it moved on another substrate it progressively continued changing colors (see other pictures). I thought only chameleons could do that... 1600 m asl, Cali rural area, Valle del Cauca department, Colombia.
Esta rana Boana sp. aparecio sobre un pedazo de madera y era café claro, luego se movió en el suelo y cambio de color, Cada vez que cambió de sustrato siguió cambiando de tonos (ver las demas fotos). Pensaba que solamente los camaleones podían hacerlo... 1600 m snm, zona rural de Cali, departamento del Valle del Cauca, Colombia.

Still seawater in these shallow mud flats and sandy substrate closer to shore. There's a reef structure/habitat classification and coral zonation from shore to deep ocean. [Some small fish traveling in schools were churning the water surface but it can be barely seen in this photo.]
Info: Reef flat
Shoreward of the reef crest there is a strong environmental gradient on the shallow reef flats of south Moloka‘i. The seaward edge of the reef flat is subjected to breaking waves over the reef crest and strong currents. Small carbonate rock outcrops surrounded by coral rubble characterize the seaward reef flat. Depth diminishes shoreward of the reef crest. Wave energy is dissipated as the water decreases in depth, moving toward the shoreline (Denny, 1988). Moving shoreward, the substrate becomes sandy with scattered rock. Near the shoreline the sand grades into mud. > cramp.wcc.hawaii.edu/Watershed_Files/Molokai/WS_Molokai_m...
