When dead trees fall in the damp, dark woods – strange things begin to grow. Fungus settles in on lifeless bark and eats away at the remains. The fact that fallen trees are alive with fungi may be a perfect example of how the ecosystem works, but it sounds a bit creepy to me – like a Halloween story!

Ha! Yes, there’s even a face on the biggest red mushroom in the first photo. I see eyes, a nose and even an ear!

I love mushrooms—but I’ll pass on these! I must say they are very interesting, and you’ve zeroed in on some great specimens. Thanks for sharing.

I’m with you, Pat! Someone told me the stuff in the first photo is actually a delicacy, but you won’t catch me eating ANY of these.
