As we were making our way up the trail, I looked dowon a lot, because I just can't stop myself from looking at the loving things around me, in this case below me. This little reddish brown mushroom is in the russulaceae family which contains about 1,900 species of which are edible and some are toxic. If youare not sure, best don't even try it. What stood out to me about this one was that it grew hroizontally out of the soil and roots aloong the way.
This mushroom is a coral mushroom that grows on decaying wood It is quite a wondreous world right at our feet if we choose to look.
Here is a nice exmaple of a Jack-in-the-pulpit - quite poisenous to humans but very beautiful to look at.
This is most likely an oyster mushroom which is a mushroom in the tree mushroom family.
This moss and mushroom growing on a rock is like a miniture world of its own.
The botanical name for this fungus is tremellaceae. This one is already in its decaying stage of the truited body. The fruited body is a gelatinous substance. tremellaceae does not always produce a visible fruit body.
This is the fruit on a hobblebush
Here is an example of the amanita family. Again a family that contains many species, some edible and some toxic.
