Mushrooms in the Berkshires

These are a special collection of pictures of growths in the Berkshires.  I need to study them more.

Shrooms that people should know about if anyone EVER says that color of orange that you dyed your hair does NOT exist in nature.


Lions mane mushrooms that I was afraid to just pluck off the tree.  It *looks* like the mushroom that I buy at the local Farmers' Market that tastes like lobster, but...


 These mushrooms look like clams, clinging to a tree.  (Yes, I KNOW clams don't cling to trees, they run from them like the oysters should have run from the carpenter.)

Pictures from Berkshires

We went to Hancock, MA.

I have several pictures that I might want for wallpaper someday.  Here are a few.




 
Or another horizon, without trees OR people blocking the view.
 

 

 Clouds casting a shadow over New England....

 

I think this tree is imitating The King Lizard, but to what end?

 

A bush imitating a hedgehog......

More pictures of New York Trees and Prospect Park

 A tree has grabbed the bricks fencing it in.  I think she's holding them hostage.

While this tree just started pushing the curb away.  "You're too close!"


 I suspect this tree of giving me the finger,

while this tree just got tired and fell down.




 

These are two trees that grew out of the stump of a felled tree.

Another felled tree that thinks it's sculpture.  Maybe it is.  How would we know?


Did cutting this tree down (you can see the split) cause the trunk to just give up and try to run with the rest of the tree?

The abandoned pond again.
