On Tuesday, March 8, we decided to take a trip back to an area about 2500 ft.

The number of fungi we saw was pretty small, except for some different-looking helvellas and orange cup fungus. Too cold, I suspect, for much more.

We did find a few blewits, and one of what at first thought my be a man on horseback, the Tricholoma flavovirens.

Below are most of the pictures I took for the day:
