Turkey Tail Fungus


Today the whole family visited my grandmother's house in Akron Ohio.  I wouldn't think of her house on the hill in the Kenmore neighborhood to be a place where I would find a nature photograph worthy of posting here, but I did.  When I was growing up, my grandparents had three massive norway maples in the front yard.  One still stands, one was replaced with a red maple, and the stump of another still remains.  The turkey tail fungus adorning this stump was just too intricate not to photograph.

  2. Thanks Dawn...really? I didn't know you could put this in your mouth. I'm a complete no-nothing when it comes to fungi. I admire them all from a distance!
