Big Mushroom

in photography •  7 years ago 

This mushroom was growing out of a tree; a big mushroom, at about 40cm (16") across:


Olympus Stylus 1s, 60mm, ISO200, f5.6, 1/30s

There's a blade of grass sticking out of it; I don't know if it grew through or if the mushroom absorbed it.

I wonder about such things.

This looks like it may be a reishi!

Yea that's reishi! Great mushroom. Very good for you on many levels.

So I have heard!

Is Ganoderma lucidum...

This really big but,... old. Lol

Lol amazing big

And so you should, because photography doesn't seem to give you enough activity to fill your days!

It was a big one, it has beautiful color, just like a chocolate cake. Nice mushroom @ocrdu

Some of these tree mushrooms are eatable, wish I was wise to which.

We have a species of grass here that can even grow through asphalt .

Not a place to stand still for long then 8-).

There is another species of grass (I don't recall the name) that is worse. My sisters dog ate some, including the seeds. The grass sprouted from inside and grew through the skin. She had to take it to the vet so have it removed. Pretty scary stuff.

Very nasty. No such grass here that I know of. I suggest emigrating 8-).

That's terrifying.

It's a beauty!
