Fungus Among Us

     This post is only about mushrooms. If you don't like fungus this probably won't be a post for you. We saw so many interesting types of mushrooms on our recent trip to northeast Georgia that we had to snap pictures and share. Below you will see all colors, shapes and sizes. Most of these I have never seen before. There's a lot of pictures here, but there were so, so many more that we didn't take the time to photograph.

     This first set comes from our mountain bike ride on the Stonewall Falls Trail. There were more mushrooms in every tenth of a mile than I have seen in my entire life combined.

Like a pancake on a stick

Very interesting red trim and center on these bright white mushrooms

Green mushroom

These looked like orange packing peanuts

Growing out of a hole in a tree

Looks like an old peach core

Tall and skinny

     The second set below is from Black Rock Mountain State Park. The north slope of the mountain on the Tennessee Rock Trail was heavily populated with mushrooms and fungus. The campground also had strange 'shrooms growing every place you looked.

This one was pretty big

    That does it for mushrooms. If you ever visit that area, be sure to pay attention to the small things. Like most things in life, they are much more amazing in person.
