Often called "Witches' Butter," these are quite common in Pacific Northwest forests, often offering up a bright spot of color even during the winter. They remain succulent only through the rainy months, drying up into nothingness during the summer except in damp, cool corners of the forest.
365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.
