Wood Lily on trail today. Many other wild flowers in bloom - - notably, Yellow Lady Slippers and Columbines. Ate a few wild strawberries along the way too.

Dead Man’s Fingers (xylaria polymorpha). Not rare, but this week is the first time that I have stumbled upon it. Love spotting a mushroom that I have only read about.
