OK, trying out the WordPress app on my phone… We’ll see how this goes.
The combination of late summer and torrential rain left our local forests polka-dotted with mushrooms a few weeks ago. Did I take pictures? You bet I did! I had two kids pointing out every fungal formation we passed on an hour-long walk and asking for a photographic record of these weird little not-critters.
Do I know what any of them are? Nope. I just know we’re not eating them. Mushrooms are nature’s paint chips. It might not hurt you, but why take the risk? Also, it’ll probably taste terrible either way.
To the photos!

Nice colour, but is totally going to eat you:
Lichen (because we’re equal opportunity) and some wee ‘shrooms:
Melty. Eew.
How does this NOT have a fairy sitting on it?
Not fungus, just a pretty little spot beside the path. I love finding things like this:
Looks like a candy bowl:
Yeah, I think I’m done with captions for now…

I probably could have guessed that. 🙂
And I like the mushrooms from the grocery store, I just choose to believe that these taste terrible because they probably want to kill me. Or make me bigger, or give me 1-up… I guess you take your chances.
