Fungi Fruiting=fascinating

11/17/2015

All three of these fungi are fruiting within five feet of my backdoor; unfortunately, I do not know enough about mushrooms to know if they are edible, but it appears that the shiny orange ones are being nibbled by someone...

I am thrilled that we have so many varieties popping up. These fruiting bodies indicate that there is a healthy mycelium network in our backyard, and we are hopeful that it will continue to grow.
