With all of the rain we've had around here, mushrooms and other fungus have begun to show up all over the forest.

September 14, 2006This mushroom found an interesting spot to grow- out of a 1/8 inch woodpecker hole in a dead tree (a similar hold can be seen at the top left of the photo). At first I thought this was bracket fungus, but as I looked closer, I noticed a stem and the stem was coming out of a small hole in the tree.
Just think, a tiny spore blew up from the ground and landed right inside that tiny hole.
