Fruitful Brightwood Exploration

 The other day, my exploration in Brightwood Park was amazingly fruitful.  

Near the long chair passing the dam and facing the north, I saw two mushrooms with interesting morphologies.  I named them "smart mushrooms" because one was mimicking a tree stump and the other looked like a model of mitochondria in high school biology textbooks.  Both were covered with dense hair, too.

The black mushroom was found on the log of a fallen tree.  Under the sunlight, the pattern appeared like a bear face on the front and a human face on the side.

The light-colored mushrooms were seen along the trail parallel to Prospect Street.  The first one was like posing for a photo session, and looked uniquely pretty from several angles.  Another mushroom near the park entrance was in the shape of a heart and another was like a smiling child.  The latter has been around for weeks.

The ducks were going back and forth between the pond and the shore near the two-pond junction.  They finally decided to settle on the shore.  I was a lucky observer.
