Well, as there is not much going on here outside for plants I thought I would take a photo of the beautiful fungus I found as we were getting wood in the house. mauve fungus ( photo / image / picture from carolyn keiper's Garden ) ( photo / image / picture from carolyn keiper's Garden )
Interesting fungus, I take it that 'mauve' is referring to the color as opposed to an identification parameter. Was it growing on Oak? Jerry
I was referring to the color. I know next to nothing about fungus varieties. I think that it is growing on a pin oak, but do not know for sure. The wood came from a pile in the back of all the wood we have gotten this year. I should know the bark better than I do, but I have forgotten much of my wood/bark ID from school.
Its a very pretty color.I don't remember enough about my school days eitherI am sure i forgot more than I ever knew.Woodear mushrooms look like liver to me.I think they are imported into the U.S.A.
