Fungus Fun
Suspend your disbelief. Now visualize a lost world with lush green vegetation punctuated with strange otherworldly growths throughout the landscape.
Now place yourself in this scene. Yummy.
It figures, I can never hold down my fungus. Sorry about upchucking on the stump and making a slimy mess.
Ah, carbonated slime

Only a couple of feet away a really weird structure had grown from the forest floor. It had a familiar look about it but the form was all wrong.
This has the look and feel of a shelf mushroom that I often find. The colors and hard shellac finish seem to be the same as the Hemlock Varnish Shelf Mushroom but there are two big differences. Like I said, the form is all wrong and where am I supposed to peak at the underside to see the pore surface? This thing had no bottom and the top was like the growing edge of the normal form. It must be a Mobius Strip Mushroom |
See the similarities?
Hemlock Varnish Shelf Mushroom – Ganoderma tsugae
I figured it best to call the Army. Never take any chances when dealing with mutants.
The advance force reported their small arms had no effect. Clearly a more effective unit had to be deployed.
Bacon makes everything better!
…and now for something completely different
Something just didn’t look right in this photo. You get 2 guesses what it is.

(-: Very cute post. Love the army men. My brother had those when we were growing up. He was always having some sort of war going on with them. He was so annoying…lol(-:
The fungus looks very pretty. My favorite picture is the first one. (-:

The spider is riding a helicopter for free. What a smart guy, but it will regret if the helicopter never stop at a right place.

Thanks! NowI have the theme song from the Blob in my head. Great photos as usual. You must hang out in some pretty damp places.
