Mushrooms
Woodland Stemware
On a late summer hike through the woodlands of Tippecanoe River State Park in Indiana I spotted these unique mushrooms. At least I think their mushrooms. In a search of mushrooms I couldn’t find any that were cupped on long stems. They reminded me of long-stemmed wine glasses. Maybe some fungus fanatic can help identify them.

Fine Forest Dinnerware
These pheasant back mushrooms were growing out of a fallen tree. They reminded me of a decorative dinnerware setting.
We found these (as well as other fungi) on a recent hike. They grow out of dead trees and stumps. The intricate patterns and coloration are the source of its name. They are supposedly eatable, but I’ve never tried them and wouldn’t know how to prepare them.
The tree these were growing out of was horizontal, lying flat on the ground, so this view is looking straight down. On an upright tree or stump these fungi tend to grow in a horizontal position, resembling a small, round shelf attached to the trunk.

Woodland Floor Decor
This was a delightful find on an autumn walk through the woods in northeast Wisconsin. The tallest of these tiny red mushrooms was about 2 inches.
We stumbled upon these while trekking to some waterfall site in Marinette County, Wisconsin. We found a number of colorful mushrooms on that trip.

Tree Dwellers
On a walk through the woods, I spotted this collection of mushrooms growing in the hollow of a large tree. I thought the colors, textures and just the oddity of mushrooms growing in a tree made it an interesting sight.

Spring Gathering
Hunting for morel mushrooms is a tradition of spring. Here are a nice batch found along a wooded path in northeast Wisconsin. There were actually two other morels in this pack, but I couldn’t fit them in the frame and still show the detail I wanted for this shot.

Tree Dwellers
It was a banner year for mushrooms in northeast Wisconsin. An abundance of rainfall seemed to keep them sprouting up to, and even beyond, the first frosts.
I thought it was unusual to see so many mushrooms growing on a tree trunk. These healthy specimens were found in the woods of northeast Wisconsin.

Mushrooms On Wood
On a hike through the autumn woods, I thought it was odd to find these mushrooms growing out of a fallen tree. (Or are they toad stools?) In any case, they intrigued me.

Flock of Fungi
Our area received a lot of rain late summer to autumn. That provided favorable conditions for mushrooms. These are a just a few of the fungi bounty we discovered on a walk through Potawatomi Park near Sturgeon Bay, WI a few weeks ago.

Morels
Went on a little hike yesterday and found a good bunch of Morel Mushrooms. Here are a couple of examples. Sara gets giddy over finding morels. It’s a family springtime tradition.
