The process always starts off the same way. Oooh fungi. Make sure you don't step on it, be careful and pull out the camera.
I want to see those gills so I get down on the ground attempting to position myself for what's under the cap.
Fanning outward like a coral reef of fungi emerging from another stump.
The stump is looking jaggedly cut by a chainsaw based on what I see. I'm starting to see moose ears here.
This fungi isn't moving and neither is this branch. The simplest way forward is through and I see it. Hard headed plant life, what can you do?
Be sure to get some extra trees in the background. The woods are where I find these all the time. Sometimes in the strangest of places.
The top view. I wonder if this is part fungi part plant? The best of both worlds.
The plant really doesn't want to yield to the mushroom. I wonder if this was a car crash in super slow motion? I can't look away.
A slight angle change to prove the photo isn't an exact duplicate. I have to take safety shots, I can't be the only one that does this. I look down at the camera in an attempt to see if the photo looks any good when....
A new friend appears sitting silently on the fungi dangling their legs off the edge.
Hello, I couldn't help but notice you're taking pictures of this beautiful fungi.
I couldn't believe it and snapped a quick photo.
Get the fungi in the frame, I'm blocking the shot.
Yes, it's very beautiful and I got a proper shot of you and the fungi. Thanks for the tip.
We spoke about fungi and Friday. I explained why I was there and they were surprised to hear about this day. They told me they'd pass along the message to the other mushrooms in the area.
They were really excited to hear I was taking an interest in what they had to say. After our conversation I left them laughing with a good joke. People remember the good ones.
What sound does a mushroom sports car make? Shroom, shroom!
I think it worked, look at that expression 😀
