Backyard and Beyond

Starting out from Brooklyn, an amateur naturalist explores our world.

As John Burroughs said, “The place to observe nature is where you are.”

Colors of Spring

Redbud.
Orange fungus.
American robin blue.
Grey squirrel (black variant) & magnolia.
Burnt orange fungus.
Black dog, having a hell of a time trying to get out of the Lullwater.

    Matt, that ‘shroom looks an awful lot like the sulphur shelf mushroom – the outer 1-2″ is fabulous sauteed. I have often collected them off oaks in parks up in Inwood; they also grow profusely on the stumps of cut hemlocks. Yumm!
