This, apparently, is a Morel mushroom, but it's very different from other Morels that I've seen in the past. Couldn't find a photo of one like this on Google Images, when I had a quick look last night. Found on Saturday, the first day of the May Species Count, at Votier's Flats, Fish Creek Park. Always feels good to find something new : )

Saturday was a day of many hours of walking. Yesterday, Sunday, the second day of the May Species Count, a few of us covered the Priddis area, south west of the city, which involved driving the backroads for the day, stopping at various sloughs along the way, and calling in at a few people's properties to see certain birds. I always enjoy this day out each year.
