All Bremer County Images

Knowing wet and windy weather was coming our way, I got out early this morning in search of interesting flora and fungi here in Bremer County. My hopes were to find uncommon species, but that did not happen. I did find white turtleheads and purple rattlesnakeroot plants, but that was it as far as “not often seen plants.” During my search I found many fungi species.

My photos from the day include many “specimen” style compositions that I will use for reference purposes. For sharing I will include some of the more “pretty” views of my finds. I hope you find something interesting!
