  • Surprising in the Easter-egg lilac/blue/purple color of this mushroom alone, these stood out in sharp contrast to the forest greens and rich browns on the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest in Washington's Cascades Mountains on a cold and wet November morning alongside the Greenwater River. Upon closer inspection, the sudden intense odor of rotting fruit, wet dog, and those orange circus peanut candies came to mind. The underside of these mushroom was cinnamon brown, and so was the spore print I made from one of them.

  • Unlike other glacier lilies found in the Rocky Mountains, glacier lilies of the same species found in the Cascade Mountains of the Pacific Northwest have pure white anthers instead of rusty reddish brown. These were photographed<br />
 about a mile from the shore of Lake Wenatchee in the state of Washington.
    Glacier Lily
  • There is some variety among individual populations of the glacier lily. In Wyoming, individuals have reddinsh/rusty brown anthers as seen here, and some populations I've seen elsewhere in the United States have pure white anthers, even though they are the same species.

  • This cactus is native subspecies of the green-flowering hedgehog cactus and is common from mid-to-high elevations, favoring volcanic soils. The cylindrical stem of this cactus may branch to form large colonies. Rusty-red flowers with darker purplish maroon midstripes and greenish-yellow anthers grow from the middle third of the stem and do not open very wide. Found in the United States only in Brewster County in the Big Bend area of Texas, these were found growing below the Chisos Mountains near the Rio Grande.
