My entry to 
Theme for this week Mushrooms.
I didn’t have to go far to find mushrooms.
From the kitchen window I could see this pretty mushroom growing under the shadow of the spruce tree standing in the back yard.
It is the Amanita Muscarin commonly know as the Fly Mushroom.
I’ve read that mushrooms with a red top are either poisonous or hallucinogenic. It looks like the animals have taken a few nibbles out of this one. I’ll leave the party to them.
There’s many different mushrooms around the yard especially popping up after a rain. Lots of bites taken out of them.

Conk growing on tree.
Seeing mushrooms growing on a tree indicates the tree is suffering damage and a fungus has already affected it.
Conks are great fire starters. Good to know if you get lost in the forest and need warmth.
These conk mushrooms are touted to have medicinal healing properties and a tea can be made with them.
White mushrooms growing on a tree stump.
I’ll close off with the interesting looking Ink Cap mushroom. Called such because they turn black quickly after being picked.
All kinds of mushrooms to select from but I don’t really know my mushrooms good enough to risk picking them and frying them up for a meal.
I am content seeing the many varieties of fungi and know the insects and animals make use of them.
