There is a plethora of different species of fungus here in Minnesota. Here are some of the cool ones I have spotted while working. And some other random photos as well.
 |
| Evan thinks that these might be insect eggs but either way they are so cool they way they outline whatever they are on. |
 |
| This dude was checking us out up in the top of a large aspen tree. |
 |
| This is a grape fern (Sceptridium dissectum) and it is on the state watch list. |
 |
| Just showing some more cedar swamp love. |
 |
| I wonder if I could make a hobbit hole out of a cedar tip up mound.... |
 |
| Just another Malaxis monophyllos var. brachypoda that I found. |
 |
| The red fruit of Jack-in-the-Pulpit (Arisaema ) |
 |
| The pretty Maidenhair Fern (Adiantum pedatum). |
 |
| Sphagnum sporophytes! Did you know that there are 33 species of Sphagnum moss in the state of Minnesota? |
 |
| A really shiny thalloid liverwort that is probably a species of Conocephallum. |
 |
| The cool blue fruiting bodies of the Blue Stain fungus. It actually stains the wood blue! |
 |
| A quite large American Elm (Ulmus americana) which is quite an uncommon sight due to Dutch Elm Disease. |
 |
| I have no idea what this is but I have been seeing them around lately. They have some kind of root system that attaches them to the ground. |
 |
| Some more Indian Pipe (Monotropa uniflora) flowers. |
 |
| I have never seen a fungus like this before. |
 |
| Indian Pipe is all over the place here. |
