Field Photos: A Hyla's Hiney and Tremella fuciformis

A couple of snapshots from this week’s fieldwork in north central Florida:


First, Hyla versicolor a “gray treefrog” – this guy was about twelve feet up; couldn’t convince him to turn and smile…


Take a look at Amphibiaweb’s Hyla versicolor page for follow-up: http://amphibiaweb.org/cgi/amphib_query?where-genus=Hyla&where-species=versicolor&account=lannoo




And second, Tremella fuciformis, a.k.a. “snow fungus” – a variety of jelly fungi often used in Chinese cooking.
