Throughout the summer season there has been an abundance of mushrooms on our property. From fairy circles in the lawn to quite unique specimens scattered on the forest floor. With such a plethora I am seriously considering farming fungi! Although I have yet to identify a tasty morsel just collecting and observing this unusual life form has been enjoyable. Learning that these objects are neither plant nor animal but a whole Kingdom of their own is remarkable. That the mushroom itself is the reproductive part of the organism and that its life stages are complex to say the least!

Here I have snapped a few specimens that I have collected. Waiting for a chanterelle or morel in the future!
