Mushrooms popping up in surprising places

[sylvaine]

Look at those Regular Ol' Forest Mushrooms just growing out of a tree hollow! Found last year - must have been in August? so actually quite a while ago - on my way to work.

So cool! It looks like curious fungus folk peeking out at the world.

I was out hiking last fall as the rainy season came to the California coast and found tiny little mushrooms growing in the moss on the sides of some trees. They were only about a centimeter tall, at best.

That is so cool! I don't think I've ever seen ordinary mushrooms growing on/in a tree like that.

I love fungi!

[sylvaine]

I loved watching them grow every day on my way to work!

[sylvaine]

Hee, it really does! What a delightful description.

[sylvaine]

They really were!

[sylvaine]

Oh, how precious! Tiny mushrooms are adorable, and they really will grow just about anywhere, won't they?

[sylvaine]

Right? I love it! I did wonder whether the tree was entirely hollow and they're connected to a larger mushroom network underground, or if the mushroom network is just a tiny one in the hollow itself.

It's incredible!

Love that for them.

A stealthy fungus among us!

[sylvaine]

I really hope they reappear in the coming years! I'm certainly rooting for them. xD

Okay, I've gotta know - was the Among Us reference on purpose or by accident? :D

[nanila]

Deliberate! :D
