A bit further along the trail, we found this fungus growing on a tree branch.
Below is a photo of Ruby Glow Witch Hazel (Hamamelis x intermedia). It was one of the flowers that I found blooming yesterday in the Woodland Garden section of Hamilton's Royal Botanical Gardens.

gorgeous and weird. (my favorite combination.)
Wow OW!
I've never seen witch hazel flowers before, those are something!
And the fungus too...
N, Glad you liked it!
J, Our native Witch Hazel is of the same shape but yellow. This one is an import from Europe that is doing quite well but not reproducing.
The fungus photo is a macro photo so you might not see or recognize it if you saw it in the field.
followed your link from Norenes site
love the fungus photo, I went on a walk with a permaculture instructor recently, then we all spent half the day on our hands and knees looking for fungus and lichen and moss, full of enthusiam I returned to work the next day and told them all about it. . . .
