Multiple mushrooms

Post by leonardturner »

While shooting some colorful polypores and their associates in the northern portion of the state a few weeks ago I noticed a small white item resembling brain coral.

This small fungus probably fits into the group of so-called coral fungi, perhaps a Sparassis.

Poking around across the street from my home recently I found a similar, but quite tiny mushroom on a rotting stick and brought it home to photograph on my indoor rig. It seemed grossly to be quite similar to its northern cousin, but not the same.

That third image is lovely. It suddenly reminded me of why I got into this type of photography in the first place.

Thank you, Rik. I have thought quite a bit about your observation. It is a great gift to find, in an unlikely place, something surprising, exciting or just plain beautiful. I like this type of photography, a lot.

Nice! The bracket fungi is called Turkey tail. I don't know what the coraline fungi is.
