Mushroom Visitors


Razor-toothed and gossipy, these ladies burst forth in a time of drought to complain about the heat.


Iridescent strands of mycelium showing; tenuous anchors entwined with maple flesh.


Shy visitors, shedding spores and fruiting.

    Are you going to turn them into something delicious?

    1. I have a guess as to what they are, but I'm not confident enough in my mycology skills to actually eat them. Someday!

  6. Great shots! When we had the cabin in the woods in western PA there were mushrooms galore. I would not know which ones I could eat. So I just admire :)

  9. I always find mushrooms and fungi amazing and mysterious. I remember a tree near where we used to live had these absolutely huge mushrooms growing from it - similar to these yet slightly different colors.
