Fun Fall Fungi

Autumn is here and the woods are alive with migrating birds, squirrels fattening up and the changing leaves of trees. It's also the season on amazing fungi, which fruit this time of year, spurred on by rain showers. As you take your next fall color walk at Chippewa Nature Center, don't forget to look down and enjoy these amazing residents of the forest floor. To learn more about amazing fungi, sign up for our weekend workshop, scheduled for October 7-9. For more details, visit http://www.chippewanaturecenter.org/cal_oct11.htm. Don't delay, the registration deadline is September 30th!

  1. It would be great if you would identify the fungi in these beautiful pictures. Dale Anderson

  2. Dale, unfortunately these photos were taken more for the "pretty fungi" value instead of identification, so we're not able to ID them all for you. The top is an Artist's Conk and the third one down is Dryad's Saddle. Without seeing them in the hand, the rest remain mysteries!
