Hibernia Park.... Fungus...

Went on a walk today at Hibernia Park in Wagontown PA.  This picture of unknown variety of fungi doesn't look real to me.... it looks like it belongs in a salt water tank.

Never knew fungus could be so diverse and so beautiful.

Fungi have use in many places.  Of course, I am not happy when they show up in places like on my basement wall or on the last piece of bread.  However, most of us know that penicillin was created from the mold on an orange.  And, without fungi the important role of decomposition of organic matter would not occur.

Really likin' the lichen
