Fungus among us

Long weekends mean trips to lots of hidden little places, hidden places like Bob's Brook. I don't know much about the place, other than that there's a BC Hydro sign that says it's an environmentally sensitive area and cyclists must dismount.

The water tastes reasonably good, especially if you're thirsty. I don't understand people who freak out about drinking water directly from the stream. It's Canada for chrissakes, not Mexico or Nigeria or something. Nothing in there will kill you.

But I did find something really interesting in my travels:

Fungus. Huge orange fungus.

That made my day, seriously.
