When the ground is too soggy to dig in,
I put on my rubber shoes and go mushroom hunting.
I do not eat what I find.
I like my liver too much to risk eating a poisonous fungus.
This snail is enjoying a snack.
I only know common names of some of these. Please forgive my ignorance.
I have always been fascinated by fungi.
Maybe I should start another blog called fungialley.
I consider fungi both beautiful and beneficial.
I took all these photos this past weekend in my yard and in the woods behind my house.
I did go out in a kayak and found some floating fungi. That will be another post.
If a reader knows the true identifications of any of these, please send me a message.
FLOWER loves fungi.

These pictures remind me to look more closely in my yard and the woods. And what great names these fungi have!

A type I did not find is called “chicken in the woods”. People actually eat that one, so I guess it is kind of like finding a chicken in the woods. Ha.

Flower loves fungi, and trees do too! I’ve read this. Trees wouldn’t live without fungi and lots of fungi wouldn’t live without the roots of trees where so many of them spend their interminable lives in rhizomes exchanging nourishing substances with their hosts. If this isn’t love then what is love?

You are so wise. Thank you.
Last year I wrote a post “it’s a Rotten World. Thank Goodness”.
I don’t think folks realize how interconnected all living things are.

Funny – I just wrote a comment on a blog with a photo of shrinking tomatoes. Soon they’ll be rotten. Makes a picture interesting. Makes me see movement. Which is quite an important thing in life, isn’t it?

Great post! We are really looking at the same things. I have been photographing the fungi in my yard. You may be seeing it later. As Arletta said, the interchange with fungi and plants is really interesting.
