This is the same pair of mushrooms we've been looking at.....   Do you see the spider?

I didn't see the spider until I got these images up on "the big screen."  This is a closer crop of the upper right of the above.

As I look closer and closer, I think there is another critter to the right of the spider, on the edge of the mushroom.  That black spot appears to have legs and a shadow.......

Another look at the mushrooms, from the side this time.

And here's the spider.  Closer crop from the upper right of the image above.  The black bug is either gone or outside the edge of the image.

Love my "slow magnifying glass"!



More fungus on the same stump as the mushrooms above.  Maple seeds indicate scale........

Serviceberry leaf, I think.
