I've attached a photo of a cup fungus that shows up in the Spring on my property 3 miles north of Gig Harbor. It was identified (from photos and a dried up sample) by Joe Ammirati, chair of the Botany department at the UW, as "Ascomycetes Mitrula, likely Elegans".

Left to right: Vaccinium sp. (my guess is V. caespitosum, but I'm leery of making a pronouncement on an out-of focus picture without seeing the stems, the flower and fruit, or the leaf up close), Cornus unalaschkensis (plants with white, petal-like bracts in the foreground), Phyllodoce empetriformis (pink flowers), Rhododendron albiflorum. July 1997.

An all-over mat in a subalpine seep, of which the most prominent members are Vaccinium sp. ( I suspect V. uliginosum, though the green here has a yellow cast), Fauria crista-galli (roundish leaves) and Veratrum viride (tall with corn-like leaves). July 1997.

THE ROAD TO WISDOM
The road to wisdom?--Well, it's plain
and simple to express:
Err
and err
and err again
but less
and less
and less. --Piet Hein
