I think I have shared the Yogi Tea brand of Kombucha Green Tea with you before…..I really wanted to do so again as I just had to show you these beautiful mushrooms, not edible as far as I know
did you know there are over 70,000 fungi species
*remember you can click and double click on most pics for a big WOW closeup view*
on our way out the other day we spotted these growing on someone’s front lawn
just had to go back to snap some pictures
good thing we did, the gentlemen came outside and said “click away, we’re getting ready to dig them up”
timing is everything
such fun getting up close and personal
these shelf fungi were at the Oak Hill Cemetery (see yesterday’s Angel post for more FREEBIE DOWNLOADS)
the last photo is from my Mom’s woodpile
gorgeous pattern with touches of green
have fun with these FREEBIE downloads, not for making your own collage sheets or for sale of course
stop by and visit Kimmie, along with regulars Christen and Pat….won’t you join us with your own cuppa something and post about it leaving a link on Kimmie’s Art in Red Wagons

a warning- taking pics of mushrooms can be extremely addictive! LOL I can just see you spread flat out on the grass getting the best close-up!

…..and if that’s not impressive enough, fungi apparently are the largest organisms in the world, with (for lack of better word) root systems that stretch for miles. I just learned this recently from Michael Pollan in The Omnivore’s Dilemna (oh dear, wrong spelling).

Thank you for the fungitour! You got some wonderful photos … and I, too, wonder at how you got some of the angles without digging a hole to stand in beside the thing!

Oh how cool! Love the close up of the underside of the mushroom! We have aspens in our yard, did you know they’re considered a fungus?

Oh, Patty — I took some fungifotos this weekend, but I think I’m embarrassed to post them. These are fabulous — especially that sort of “up and under” one. Timing is everything, and yours rocks!

I had no idea that I would be so inspired by fungi! 😉 These are exquisite photos! I can imagine you stooping down on the neighbor’s lawn, to get that up shot 🙂
I will have to be on the lookout for fungi…but here in CA, I think the weather may be a bit too dry for it this time of year.
Thanks again for sharing!

I love the fungi…I take pictures of them, too. 🙂 I might send you a couple shots of my most unique. I’ve opted not to post them on my blog, because everyone does not share my warped sense of humor. If you would like to see them let me know and I’ll send them your way. They are truly unique…
Once I adopted a Kombucha mushroom to make my own tea. I failed miserably in the attempt and grew nasty mold. I’m not sure what went wrong, because I tried to follow the instructions to the “T”. I’d love to try again sometime, because the tea really is so beneficial.

Oh, Geeze! I’m a day late for tea, however, I’m soooo happy that I didn’t miss these great pictures! They’re awesome – especially like the “shelf” fungi and the colors of the fungi on your mom’s woodpile. Isn’t nature grand???? Hugs, Terri
