Writing under a Montreal sky

A magnificent mushroom

It’s the size of a dinner plate. Phaeolus Schweinitzii discovered and named by a Moravian minister in colonial America. ( according to Wikipedia) It’s like velvet cardboard in texture and not appropriate for an omelette. It used to be used for dying cloth and comes in gold color as well as this lovely brown.

A lovely color

In the woods on the way to the beach

Looks like bubble gum!

but…it’s a fungus!

The pine cone for scale

There doesn’t seem to be a stem!

A mushroom that died and went to heaven
Not a mushroom but beautiful

Go walk in the woods and see wonders!
