Pine Tree Preserve on October 4, 2022

Today ended up being cool, typical of fall around here, with a breeze that carried on throughout my half hour here. I went around noon. It was overcast, and the soil around here was dry for the most part, which, I imagine, contributed to the difficulty of finding fungi other than lichen, though the tree stumps, dead leaves, and a couple of other green places in the area seemed to have some fungi that I am tempted to call mushrooms. It seemed that there were two or three types of lichen in the area: a white one, a light green-grey one, and perhaps a darker one, though I was not sure whether these may have been different instances of the same species. Anyway, I ended up recording as observations these other mushroom-like fungi that I found; all appeared different enough to be of different species.
