Note: I've been posting a lot of content to Twitter that doesn't make it onto this blog, so I thought I'd start sharing the same content here. This post is based on this Twitter thread. - Damaris

Hey friends. Here are some pictures I took for you in #Roys Redwoods this morning. This spot of sunlight on Coast Redwood foliage struck me as particularly splendid.

Cross Orbweaver (*Araneus diadematus*) worked very hard on this graph

This patch of Dog Vomit Slime Mold (*Fuligo septica*) was hiding between fallen redwoods. Zoom in to see the structure!

I found lots more Wolf's Milk Slime Mold (*Lycogala epidendrum*) today.

Brain-like texture of Wolf's Milk visible in this photo.

Foliage on a little Tanoak (*Notholithocarpus densiflorus*)

Found my first Verspericola of the wet season! I believe this is *V. marinensis*, the Marin Hesperian. I heart fuzzy snails

A bit of lichen, fallen from the Coast Redwood canopy

Last but not least: the first soft-bodied mushrooms of the wet season! These are *Hypholoma capnoides*, the Smoky-Gilled Hypholoma. This fungus fruits throughout the rainy season in #RoysRedwoods on a certain fallen redwood. I'll show you the gills when they get bigger.
