Invasion of the fungi!

I decided to take a look around a local river, since it was pretty low a couple weeks ago, but after tropical depression Nicole came through, I wanted to see if there were any changes.
Instead, I found the mushrooms on steroids!

This is HUGE mushroom next to my foot.

The big fungi and its relative (in foreground). Invasion of the fungi! Run, run for your lives!

And just for reference... Trader Joe's bag is 12.5" x 15", so, whoa, a lot of mushroom. I'm sure it's not healthy to eat though...

A batch of weird very fuzzy looking mushrooms!

A local pond, but shot on way too low a shutter speed, so it fuzzed up, but it's got a warped artistic appeal. The bottom half if the reflection off the water.

The river, which overflowed its banks.

Lastly, my favorite. Two leaves, caught on twigs sticking out of wafer, while water swirls around them.
And that's it :)

the top of my foot years ago...............
It would not heal. It wept all the time.
Finally my father took a culture and it turned out to be
some sort of fungus..........not Athlete's foot
It was weird as it grew in a perfect circle size of a dime.

Once it was identified he quickly took care of it.
Nasty little bugger.
To this day I haven't a clue where I picked it up and it never moved out of that dime size place on top of my foot over my right ankle.

Date: 2010-10-03 11:10 pm (UTC)and 'lurking' is an excellent way to describe them.
I equate that sort of thing with dark, damp, nasty smelling caves......
