Another mushroom challenge and hope for help in id! These lovely little orange fungi suddenly appeared after a period of rainfall in the field next to us at the same time as all my other recent posts.
iNaturalist again couldn't take a guess here so I'm hoping the answer might be found here.
Calling @danmccullough maybe?
And anyone else!

What a bike ride we had yesterday! Sustained winds of 36+ km/hr (24mi) with gusts of what...60 (37mi)?
I almost lost the bike more than once. And then some pelting rain that felt more like hail.
But fun. Got home safe.
It was exhilarating.
I took these photos for my friends in Iran who have never seen red apples growing on the tree.
You wouldn't have expected to have rain on setting out. The wind was at our backs and the sun was warm. The storm clouds were in the other direction. In the direction of home. The temperature really dropped then. Ha ha

The fourth quarter in Canada is typically one that sees requests from charities for financial support. Cycling Guide Foundation is no different in that regard, though we're perhaps less persistant than we should be in driving our message home.
But here we are starting our plea for your support! We're in multiple regions across Canada, and you can target any one of them for your donation 😀🚴🏼♀️❤️

The intersection of Bayers Road and Oxford Street closes completely from Oct. 14 to about Nov. 11 so crews can install an upgraded Halifax Water main. Both inbound and outbound traffic will be detoured onto side streets during that time, with outbound drivers following the same Windsor-North-Chebucto-Connaught route inbound traffic already uses. Emergency access, homes and businesses stay reachable, and a special school bus detour runs… https://www.facebook.com/637825995056743/posts/1578483294324337?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #halifax #novascotia #nswildfire
