Mushrooms

Botanical illustrations and technical drawings have always intrigued me so I was excited to find these mushrooms at Bibliodyssey

Cross sections and full color!!!

Some of these look familiar and some do not.

This was part of a fairy circle. It was so amazing to see it grow daily as we walked the dogs.

It looked as it the circle was made up of different types of mushrooms, but they may have been in stages of growth. Interesting to me any way. We had so many mushrooms growing all over the neighborhood because of all the rain we had this summer. They were there one day and dying the next.

These were not part of the fairy circle.

Lichens and Fungi

The grain of the wood where it has been cut forms an interesting pattern with the growth of the lichens and the small cluster of almost dots of white which may be the first stage of the lichen growth.

 

 

It was interesting to see all the growth on the wood pile. Some lichens were on the bark while other where the logs had been split.

 

 

 

This was one of the most interesting growth patterns on the logs, it was like a necklace around the log, unfortunately my photos did not turn out well.

 

 

 

 Mushrooms growing in the split of the wood.

 

All photos are on our North Carolina day trip from the above wood pile.
