How's it going up there, boys? Gettin chilly? I know the fungal life has to be slowing down. Sketch isn't posting near as much as he was during the summer.

well Marcus, it could be worse, and apparently it will soon be worse. not as bad as Alberta by any means, but they're sending some air our way this week. Already had snow on the ground for a day or two. We had a mild warm-up but nothing to get excited about.
Does anyone know if any studies have been done correlating ground temps to fungi fruiting? That would be interesting (to me at least.)
here are a few pics of late
Possibly Polyporus alveolaris? its a leathery polyphore

the ubiquitous galerina still showing some effort

a cool cottage-cheesey looking thing. If anyone knows the name it would save me some hours of looking... not that I don't learn a few things doing so, but sometimes its nice to be led down the path of knowledge instead of lurching around...

the Hypholoma is still popping up with some vigor in places where it warmed up above 50



a cool tree on a local trail new to me. I'm always amazed that they are still alive up above (not pictured) Sycamore i assumed.



and the latest addition to the family:
 Her name is Mrs. Cuddlesworth (kids involved in naming obviously) and at 3 mo. has her basics down pretty well already (sit, stay, heel, come, drop-it, and shake) but I'm training her to whistles and claps so I won't have to yell "CUDDLES!!" in public - i would anyway cuz that carries in the woods alot better  she's crazy, seems to like to work to please, great focus for so young, agile and smart, gonna be a good lil' mutt (so don't guess the breed lol)
I've had 100lb+ dogs for the last 15 yrs so it will be fun to have something a bit more compact around too.
Hey X, what ever happened to that kitten? You still have it? nice work on the conks. I like how the eagle is coming along.

I used to be badass on a skateboard and decent on a surf board (couldn't really learn to well tho...little tiny waves in south Fla, unless a storm was coming in...but then I was fishing lol) I just don't know how well my sissy, warm Fla blooded self will do in snow lol...and I'm not really an inside person...all my life I took up activities that got me outside

xsketch said: I stay warm as much as possible but theres some things you just have to do even tho its cold out. Hobbies, movies tv you know keep busy i doors. U will like playing in the snow I bet. Just gets old real quick if you lived here all your life. Spring summer fall its rocking. Winter its kinda boring 
I moved south-ish after H.S. - enough to get out of the 5mo. winter up here and when I moved back, for some family obligations - it really sucked for awhile til I made some adjustments. And while I envy those with extended fall seasons and early springs I have two words for both you boys. LONG UNDERWEAR!
lol it makes all the difference for me between feeling like I have to shiver as soon as I step out and a bracing walk in the woods. Add a light scarf to keep the wind/snow off your neck and you're good to go. Now, as far as things to DO... that is a mixed bag. I used to ski alot but the knee ain't quite up to that these days so I make some maple syrup. Its a good reason to be in the woods.
One of the neat things about deep winter is just how quiet it is compared to the rest of the time. Silent, except a few jay calls and limbs creaking in the wind. Sometimes I stop just to appreciate that non-ness.
January is about the worst mentally with the darkness and the cold. By then I'm psyched to see a thaw at least to get rid of the dirty snow. (GO, Global Warming GO?) But Ohio still has it mild comparatively, at worst we get a blizzard for a day or two (and no earthquakes, no mountains/chaparal burning wildly, no hurricanes, nor avalanches.) Tornado, ok, occasionally in warm weather.
I lived in Montreal for awhile and had to ask (noobishly) "why are your stop signs all 10' tall?" by the time things started to melt it was pretty obvious... after snow removal they would have disappeared a long while back otherwise. Now I'm older and wimpier and I don't think you could get me to embrace winter enough to move much farther north (unless its PNW.) I remind myself "it could be a LOT worse", that helps.
If you've ever done winter camping, it can be just awesome if well prepared. NO BUGS!!! WHOO HOO! (mosquitos just luv me, and ticks too apparently) oh and usually no (other)PEOPLE either lol.
art, do your skeeters ever truly die off?

Skeeters?? Lol, I'm guessing you're talking about mosquitos?? If so, holy hell, no! Where I was in south Fla, the glades where a ten min drive down the road....well 25 mins with traffic. They LOOOVE me too...I've got a few horror stories about jumping out of the car to fish in the middle of the glades and having to chase down my buddy in the car because of the hundreds of thousands of mosquitoes trying to cover my arms and legs and neck.... they do die down for a little each year, I guess.... I was usually fishing saltwater before the temps go below 70° so I'm not really 100% sure. The more I read and think about the northern states...I just don't think I could handle the winters unfortunately

ok, spiders, snakes, gators, AND mosquitos? i'd have to wear one of those bee helmets and a wet suit or they'd find a moldy RA husk. wasn't there a very corny sci-fi (channel?) movie about giant killer mosquitoes sucking people dry of blood? Tolkien had alot of killr spidrs
but the Death of Mosquitoes every year is almost a religious event for me and largely the only good thing i can say about the cold  i fear i'd have to use DEET as a bodywash, but just like the weather here, i guess you get used to most things if you really have to.
I bet Alan gets a few bites.
from mosquitoes that is. and from the literati, maybe.

Lol, JRR would feel right at home down there then honestly, I've never had a problem with snakes or gators (aside from them attacking fish on the end of my line!) Their was one spot on the edge of the glades where you couldn't put a bucket of shiners in the water without pulling up a water snake next time you go for some live bait...and the gators like to try and get a cheap meal when you hook a fish lol...sharks would be the thing that worries me the most...the vast majority of shark attacks happen in 4ft or less of water. And bulls (which are the sharks that are most aggressive towards humans) can go straight from the ocean to the freshwater canals! And most of the waterways down there are connected, so they can move from place to place rather easily....
