Can you identify this?
I took a 7 mile hike today and spotted a plant that surprised me in how intensely red but I don't know what it is. Do you?
This was a marco shot with my GX200 (all these are shot with my GX200):
What is this?
I spotted this fungus :
Cooking lunch:
Carl, this is my alcohol stove and a combination wind shield/pot support. It make for a very stable, safe, light weight support.

Dave,
I sure hope that’s not what you cooked for lunch on your hiking trip. LOL

AJ,
I'll never remember that long scientific name but I'll remember it's related to the strawberry and I liked the common name "hearts-a-burstin".
You have won bragging rights.
Thank you,

It's called the bearded tooth and is edible. I could have cooked that. I showed the photo of the American strawberry to the folks at the Ranger station and they had no idea what it was. I did learn they are having a photo contest that I might enter.

Since the Beared Tooth looks a little dangerous, I will let you taste it first. LOL
