Big, Little, and In Between

I found several mushrooms and fungi while visiting French Regional park today.  The one above was bigger than a basketball.  Most likely a Giant Puffball Mushroom.  There were others very small too.

And of course, varieties in between.

Okay experts, what are these mushrooms?  I think the one on the left could be a type of Amanita, and right could some kind of parchment.

Enjoy!

Mystery Vine

Growing atop the foliage along the north shore of the lake grows some vines.  It grows like a wild cucumber, but the flowers/seeds look more like green curly dock.  Do you know what this might be?  Enjoy!    ~ Robin

Sunflower and Skipper Stumpers

These photos are from Monday morning.  I believe the above might be a Sawtooth Sunflower, but I'm not too confident in my id?  Likewise, the skipper shown at the side might be a Arogos Skipper, but again, not that much confidence in my id's.  This sunflower and this skipper have me stumped.  Anyone else have better luck?


Enjoy!
