365Caws is now in its 16th year of publication. If I am unable to post daily, I hope readers who love the natural world and fiberarts will seize those days to read the older material. Remember that this has been my journey as well, so you may find errors in my identifications of plants. I have tried to correct them as I discover them. Likewise, I have refined fiberarts techniques and have adjusted recipes, so search by tags to find the most current information. And thank you for following me!

The Ramaria Report
Day 355: After my prime specimen of Ramaria araiospora fell to a vicious predator of the two-legged sort (and I am not talking about Sasquatch), I went on a serious hunt for another example of this uncommon coral fungus. I found not one, but two, and their location will remain my secret. Several years ago, I found my first araiospora in full glory not far from the edge of a popular trail. I cannot say how or when it disappeared, but after I tracked its development through two or three autumn seasons, documenting it in photos, it ceased appearing in its customary niche beside a small drainage. I can only hope that these two will go undiscovered.
