Since nothing overly exciting is happening in deciduous woods I visited one of the young spruce grows. Later in the season this is the place to find some Lactarius species, blewits and puffballs.

This time I found really beautiful specimens of earthstars (Geastrum saccatum) in different stages of development.



This is not something I find regularly, so I thought it is wort mentioning.

All the earthstars and bird nests mushrooms belong to puffball family and are quite widespread in Ontario, but not that common. I usually encounter them while visiting North York Regional Forest or Durham Regional Forest.
