What's not to love about fungus...especially when it's unique looking and growing in solitude on a local rain forest trail. I'm not sure I'd pick a bouquet of them for a gift, though. The recent wet weather means we have all sorts of mushrooms springing up on the fern laced trails and even on our grass. I could spend all day taking pictures of them. I think they are so cute. Mushrooms are the "fruit" of a fungus in the ground. If you pick them, you must be careful not to destroy the mother fungi.
This one, I think, is a candy-cap, though I'm not sure. It's pretty, and when I walk Jake along the trail everyday, there it is, all alone, standing tall and proud to be a mushroom. "Hello mushroom", I say, as I pass by. I'm not sure how long they last, but this fellow has been there almost 2 weeks now.
