It's Blooming Mushrooms

We drove down to the Nature Center in the Oceano Campground today and saw this crop of mushrooms.

I'm sure all the moisture we have had helps these guys grow.

There sure were a bouquet of them growing out of a root of a tree.

There's a Fungus Among Us

We found this fungus growing on an Eucalyptus stump while we were out looking for Monarch Butterflies. The colors were exceptionally bright. I think I have identified it as a Sulfur Shelf or Chicken of the Woods mushroom which supposedly tastes like chicken.

I'm thinking we are NOT going to find out if that is true!!
