I'm Eeking (or Seeking) a Moment for a Post

Just Quickly, before it's the first of May, I want to show you a couple of things that have been growing around here!

Then I'd encourage you to head over to Making Memories to see recent woodland walks I've been taking with my friend, Susie. We've been attempting to locate and identify, if necessary, various plants on her land.
Okay, here we are... in my front yard.
Photos were taken 4/25/08.
If you peek at the upper left hand corner of the fungus,
you'll see the little row of "buttons" below.
"Walking" away from the tree.
A close-up.
A yet closer look.
I do consider myself halfway pleasant to be around,
but I'm not a "fungi!" (Maybe a fun gal!) lol.
(Some people spoil the pun by pronouncing it Fun-Ji.)

Or you COULD say there's "a fungus amongus!"

Looking towards May 1st tomorrow!

    My instructor always says, "Fungus among us!" I wonder where that term came from? Neat you have so much. It never bothers me in my garden.

    Tina, I think it's fun to discover fungus among us! ;-) There are great sites out there that identify it as well. Perhaps I'll have to enlist their help. Thanks for visiting!

    Gail, I love watching everything grow... even the fungi! ;-) And, I saw both a hummingbird and a baltimore oriole for the first time today!! yea!

    Well, Shady, you took away all my perfectly good fungus puns at the end, so I'll just say "thanks" for the neat photos of phungi! You pulled out the mycelium mat from under my feet. There was a P.G. Wodehouse character, Fungy-Phipps (Barmy Fotheringay Phipps)... sorry, that's all I have for now!

Thank you for visiting today. I don't mean to make it hard for you to leave a message, but temporarily I am going to enable word verification. Too many spam messages to deal with lately. Thanks for your patience! SG
