HSNP Upper Dogwood Trail False Turkey Tail Fungi
Fungi are in bloom in Hot Springs National Park. Rain, heat and humidity create the perfect cocktail to feed the spores waiting in logs, along trails edges, among the decomposing Leaves and at the base of many large Trees. False Turkey Tail Fungi are abundant in the park and are always changing colors as moisture and temperature change.
As I was looking at the photograph above I saw a tiny detail that looked as if little people of the Forest had left their tools among the Fungi. A teeny hook tool lay near the tiniest of fungi as if it was been used to harvest the little button tops. This is when I reexamined the image and discovered a world of tinier Fungi among the False Turkey Tail fans.
