Mushrooms

I just watched a documentary on Netflix called Fantastic Fungi! It's chocked full of interesting information....and the time lapse videos are amazing.

Mushrooms represent rejuvenation and regeneration......they generate soil that then gives life. There are 1.5 million species of fungi and 20,000 of them produce mushrooms. Mushrooms decompose dead and dying organisms and move the nutrients back into the soil. Without mushrooms....decaying material would choke the earth.   (Fantastic Fungi)

We've had a lot of rain here in Maine...and that means mushrooms....lots and lots of mushrooms. They pop up everywhere....and new ones seem to appear overnight.  They are odd little specimens....but I've grown quite fond of them over the years....especially because I know how beneficial they are.

I am completely smitten with these Fantastic Fungi.
