Boulderneigh: Fascinating fungi

Tuesday, October 22, 2013

They're popping up all over –

then morphing in bizarre ways.

Things got even stranger after these photos were taken!

Although horror flicks are not my genre, I can't help but wonder if Hollywood's aliens were inspired by fungi!

That's it for now from . . .

They are pretty interesting looking, wonder if any of them are of the edible variety... I'm pretty clueless about fungi! :D

There are a lot of strange looking mushrooms, most of the strange ones are poisonous to eat. They seem to love moisture, I have tons of shrooms when it rains here. We even have a fairy circle out front.; 10/22/13, 1:00 PM
Mama Pea said...: We've had way more than our share of mushrooms popping up in all sorts of places this time of year up here in northern Minnesota, too. (Hmmm, is someone dropping fungi dust all over the US of A?); 10/22/13, 6:36 PM
