A couple of years ago, in a short review of a slim book of poetry, Eric McHenry made this observation:
“American poetry — according to one of the many competing caricatures — is dominated by English professors and the minor epiphanies they have while walking their dogs.”
Walking my dog this evening I came across a “growth” attached to the base of a 70-year-old oak tree. Its peach color made my golden retriever look dull in comparison (sorry, Jesse) and its hue intensified as blue evening descended. An example of the power of complementary colors, this was a minor epiphany to my non-professorial American eyes.

How pretty the mushrooms was! They grow anywhere and having different colors to make their selves look awesome.
i have several oak trees about 200 years old .one has tree mushrooms developing over several years, i finally cut the tree down cause it got hit by lightning, will it spread to other trees and what should be done about the roots that have protruded through the ground
OMG ? Cool?❤️????
Next time, take one of the caps (or part of). I know it’s pretty but what u see is just the fruiting body, no real damage. Find out (and take pics) are there pores or gills? Individual stems or a central (if at all). Most importantly, take the cap and place face down on computer paper for 4-6 hours. Look at the spore print (dark? Light?). It is possible (once SUPER confident) you could be looking at a future meal.
