Fungi Friday: Slim pickings this time around until it wasn't.

They can't all be winners is a saying you've might of heard before. Each outing is a fun adventure in itself and if I happen to see any mushrooms my eyes light up.

I was about to call it a day when I noticed this downed tree trunk. This was a somewhat damp day as you can tell by the look of the trunk. Just when you think that it was a bust here they come.

I rushed over to snap the initial scene like some sort of FSI, Fungi Scene Investigator. I was sure no to disturb the scene either as I was taught. This is much easier said than done though.

The end piece of the tree trunk has obviously experienced some trauma. The fungi must have sensed this and started to gather. The wee ones appear to be making their way across the trunk to the end. Something large is attached there.

When in doubt trust the fungi as they know their stuff. A big growth on the end piece here and upon closer inspection my FSI training has determined the tree was cut using a chainsaw. More than likely due to disease as I see this often. This is a perfect breeding ground for mushrooms and fungi though. They love to form in this type of environment.

We peak around to the right and see mushrooms surrounding this monstrous fungi. I wonder if that is their leader or perhaps they're interested to see this big one with their own eyes? Whatever the case may be they all are looking great on this day.

The fungi provided once again on this trip and at the last minute too. Thank you my fungi friends and all the fungi lovers that might be reading this post.

Happy Fungi Friday everyone.

Here's one more instance of the word fungi for good measure 😀
