Ahh, mushrooms

A few more mushrooms from a few years ago.





 These mushrooms grew from the ground cover the park crew put on the ground where they had redwood trees planted and other new items. For two years hundreds of different mushrooms grow up in that ground cover. The orange mushrooms at the top start out as round grey balls that you can see on the left which then break open and the orange ribs grow. The two images above are equally amazing. They start out as umbrella style mushrooms which degenerate into the slimy stalks you see in the last image.

The stench was almost overpowering and the park crew sprayed herbicides on the ground cover so the muchrooms would not grow the third year. Despite the stench, i loved seeing them grow in their many different forms.
