New Camera

 
This year the Winter White-tailed Eagle Feeding Ground Camera starts a little later than in previous years. The camera was installed on December 8, with the assistance of Tiit and Joosep, but we only managed to get the sound in working order in the new year, with the help of Beta Group.

There is beauty in simplicity. I found a beautiful, unobtrusive mushroom on a fallen birch tree trunk. Its pale grey hue precisely matched the black and white pattern of the birch bark. A coloured black and white image. I felt at once that I had discovered something out of the usual.
 
When I was told by the mushroom experts that it was a common oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) I felt disappointed for a moment. But then I heard the follow-up – this was a very atypical specimen of oyster mushroom, it wasn’t even judged worth putting up in the exhibition. Might be misleading.
 
My moment of melancholy passed. So I had still found something extraordinary!
 
But then it was my turn to harass the mushroom sages. The nice little mushrooms from a tree stump had the examiners scratching their heads. But the scratching didn’t last long, because the experts soon reached an unanimous opinion that with such young undeveloped mushrooms it wasn’t possible to determine the species yet. Only by DNA sequencing ... And anyway, if I enlarged tiny mushrooms so much in my photos then the size effect became misleading too.
 
But I liked this little mushroom pair, just a few centimetres tall, never mind that the species is not known yet. Fine mushrooms. Bursting of youthful freshness.
 

Despite the rejected oyster mushroom and the unknown young baby mushrooms, the number of species at the exhibition today passed 200. Toivo Tuberik promised to make an exact count in the morning.
