Leathery polypore mushrooms I found on a dead log. It's interesting that these mushrooms are alive and thriving on this lifeless piece of wood. I read that mushrooms have the ability to produce compounds to prevent disease (like decay) to its host. In a way, these mushrooms keep this log "alive" so they can also live.

Near the entrance of a cave I visited last summer, this plant grows in a crack between rocks and lives on little sunlight and moisture. Amazing how life can flourish even in an inhospitable environment. Like us, it adapts to stay alive.

ReplyDeleteOur photos may be different but seems to me that we're alike in marveling at how wonderful nature can be - and how its presence in our environment makes us help appreciate our (as well as their) being alive. :)

ReplyDeleteThe PREVENT decay? Oh. I thought they promoted it.
ReplyDeleteI love these Luna. Mushrooms and other fungi ARE so interesting and beautiful in their own different way.
ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting relationship between the mushrooms and the dead tree! I have been seeing a lot of these growth the past week because of the rains.
