Daily rain has produced some interesting things. If this is edible it would produce quite a feast. These shots were taken on 2 different days, thus the difference in the light.

I think I remember someone calling these turkey tails...or something like that. Whatever they are, these are beautiful shots, Eleanor, and I hope you're safe from the storm!

Populus find fungus to be either uninteresting or repulsive in their non-radiant grays and browns, rarely beautiful. But if those in photo 2 were reds and yellows colors stolen from roses, would the opinion change? Here where I live, they bloom with a short "now ya see mm now ya don't" one or two days. I find the texture and shape to be so very interesting. To photgraph them in the grass, I carry sissors and get down on their level.
Viewing again to see if my brain saw anything new... yes, the pattern reminds me of butterfly wings.

Thank you, Donna. From the looks of things, the storm is going to quieten down before it gets here. We need no more mud and rock slides. It's trouble when you shave off mountain sides to build roads. The Parkway is closed.

Excellent shots, Eleanor. 
Thanks, Dook. Fun to find such things and almost in my yard.

I'm so glad you really enjoyed these, Populus. The idea of having scissors handy is good. Around here, though, it's don't change or remove anything from it's natural place. Of course, since these were almost in my yard it would have been OK, but the poison would have been off putting! By the way, brown is my favorite color.

Thank you, Carol. I'll be going out to look for more. I have lots of shots of them as I find them really interesting.
