Indian River Valley on a Wet Day

Went for a hike up Indian River valley to take care of the ibuttons. It was a very soggy day. Found a couple of things that prompted me to pull out the camera despite the abundance of rain – a common plant in an unusual (for it) location, and a fungus I don’t remember having seen before.

Not normally known to grow in muskegs, this dandelion seemed to be pretty robust, though obviously quite wet.

Not sure what these were. I carefully dug them up, but couldn't see that they were growing from anything in particular - just seemed to have grown up out of the gravel.
