Forest Foray Finds Fungi Fotos

Inspired by our friend Tom, we set out to see what this late-starting 'shroom season might have to offer.

A few weeks back, Tom returned with a magnificent Chicken of the Woods (polyporous sulphure- ous). This is not one of those, but it was a nice first find

What might be waiting there for us?

Not everything out there will be edible, but nearly everything could be worth a snapshot or two...



Thanks to the macro setting on our point-and-shoot, even the tiniest fungal specimen can be preserved in living color.

Bigger finds, as well,
even if not-quite edible.
Or otherworldly...

Did we end up having to forgo the edible for the photogenic? That was by no means the case. Our quest continued, with every hope for an eventual culinary success. (...see next installment)
