Fabulous Fungi

 Fungus-- normally people think of mushrooms and such, but as you can see fungi can can come in a wide variety of shapes,colors, and sizes.Fungi aren't plants so the can't make their own food. They leech off roots and rotting vegetation, nutrients that are already there that just need to be broken down. One of these pictures is of an enormous rose fungus,named so for obvious reasons, it was four times the size of a human hand.The other fungi were unidentified. All of these pictures were taken at the Prince William Forest Park in Washington D.C.
