Peace Valley Park, No. 10, Part 2, Fungae
Tuesday morning, July 4, I went for a hike at Peace Valley Park near Doylestown, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. In the previous post, I showed some wildflowers; this post is specializing in wild fungae.
The picture above shows the top side; the one below shows the bottom side. Both have their own glory. I love the milky white of the bottom.
Some brightly colored mushrooms
I love the contrasting browns on this fungae.
Another mushroom - above and below :)

Gorgeous, Tim!
I like mushroom... at table. These ones sure are very pretty, but I prefer not to cook them ! EHEHEH !
Neat, I took a couple of photos of mushrooms a week ago. The moring my FNL died. have not uploaded to the puter yet. I will soon.
Thanks for the various forms of life you share.
Thanks, ma beck. Nature has so much to treat us to. Good to hear from you.
Hi, cergie. I love looking at mushrooms; but I never pick them to eat. I don't have the knowledge to know which mushrooms are poisonous and which are edible. But I love mushrooms with many vegetables, salads, or soups.
Hi, paige. Glad you enjoy these pictures from nature. I like variety though perhaps my blog would draw more people if I stuck to a constant theme. But I view my blog more as a journal of life's experiences.
I love mushrooms to eat too. I wish I knew which wild ones were ok...
Those are amazing!!! Nauture is such a fine piece of art.

The mushroom I prefer is called "chanterelle en tuba" and look like a yellow and brown tuba of course (mainly under hornbeam )! And another one "trompette de la mort" *death trumpet* (coniferous) ! Black mushroom looking like a... trumpet ! Both of them delicious cooked with parsley and garlic...
Champignon de Paris: very good too but not so good (button mushroom at a market place ! ouaf ouaf !)
;-D
It's possible to grow button mushroom ( you need just cellar or cavern + dung. Horse one is the best !) but neither chanterelle nor trompette de la mort !
Hi, san nakji. I leave harvesting mushrooms to others and buy mine at the store.
Hi, andrea. I think nature is where we learn art.
Hi, cergie. I'm sure it can be fun to grow one's own mushrooms. But given where I live and my hectic life schedule, I think I'll leave that to others. :)
I love the white step fungus that sometimes grows on old trees where I live. Some of them get so big that a friend of mine uses them as canvases for her paintings.
Heh, I recently discovered some smaller versions growing off the bottom of my porch. I knew then that this was the summer we'd be replacing our porch! :)
Hi, spider girl. Thanks for coming by. These kinds of fungus always attract my attention. They're so beautiful except when they're growing on your porch. :)
Nice!! I am really enjoying your pictures!
Hi, Wendy C. I'm glad you find these pictures so wonderful. I love seeing and photographing the real thing, too. :)
