Round two. The conditions now are daily rain and clouds with rare visits from the sun. Night temperatures in the high 60's with days topping out in the mid 70's. Everything remains wet until mid July when the rains finally break. Then the oven turns on and we bake in the subtropical summer.

Continuing on with the fungus, a lovely red shelf fungus freshly wet with yet more rain.

There also were some rather typical mushrooms. These guys formed big colonies on stumps and fallen trees.

These were large ones with the cap as big as your hand.

And a lovely fern, also with tropical roots, Neocheiropteris enstata. These form extensive colonies along streams and seepy slopes.

Lovely photographs of very interesting subjects!

I kinda wish the rainy season were done though. I'll be in Tokyo in a week and that city is not fun in the rain....
