(25,676 posts)of what it means to be in a group? I am being lazy...should look it up. Thanks!
NeoGreen
(4,033 posts)...from the "about this group" button above:
Discuss all aspects of hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, rock climbing, mountain biking, skiing and other outdoor sports.
No worries about "being lazy", been there...
I posted here since it seemed to be the most appropriate group.
If I thought about it I should have posted in the DU Lounge for exposure...
cilla4progress
(25,676 posts)just wondering how it works, when one is a subscriber to a group. Do I get emails or something / updates of new posts, etc.?
Will do some research of my own. Thanks!

(3,276 posts)your walk. Walks in the woods are one of my favorite things.
Your delicate ground cover looks like what's called running pine here in SWNC. It's a club moss - Lycopodium clavatum. (But I am no botanist, so I could be wrong.)
NeoGreen
(4,033 posts)...and I could look up the name of the cover but have never bothered to do so. It is primarily in a 30 x30 foot patch nestled between the Red pines and some Hawthorns, but the patch has been decreasing in number and size over the last 25 years.
I make a point of never walking through the patch.

the ring mushrooms seem to visually match Clitocybe dealbata (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clitocybe_dealbata)...
but with all things mushroom caution is advised...
