FUNGI




They poke
their heads through dirt,
explorers from another age, and find
a world glassy with rain, a forest
thick with leaf mulch.

from a poem by Tamar Yoseloff


Autumn is the time for fungal fruiting bodies


Toadstools and mushrooms


In troops and solitary


Brackety brackets


Neither plants nor animals


Feeding on dead wood and living trees


Essential to life on earth
