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.
