Fantastic Fungi

freaky fungi growing art

This was a fungus I found growing along the trail at Lake Fayetteville, I have no idea what it is, other than beautiful and mind-boggling in it’s array of colors that looks like an abstract painting. Any fungi experts who can identify this blue goo? 🙂

Fungi is so amazing. Definitely one of the mysterious wonders and arts of nature in so many colors and varieties. Wonderful words to accompany what your present and wondrous eyes discovered. We have a form of fungi here called a snow plant or snow flower – Latin name Sarcodes – that is so lovely and looks like a tropical flower emerging from the ground. Love finding new forms of nature’s miracles.

Natural art. Who are we to question its beauty? Before reading your post, I stared at the photo trying to figure out what it was.

I also like freaky fungi, lichen, and moss, Brad. That is an unusual one, and I have no idea what it is. The haiku is perfect, my friend.

I love the colors. I wish I could offer some insights as to the type of fungus this is, but sometimes just appreciating the beauty is enough – or at least I try sometimes not to label everything and just marvel in the wonder. 😉
