Autumn mushrooms add gathering, beauty, texture to fall
Fall mushrooms, the fruiting bodies of fungi, may not excite gatherers as much as May morels do but their shapes, colors, smells, textures, and mystery know few challengers. Red, white, orange, purple, tan, yellow, and speckled are a few of a rainbow of colors adorning mushroom caps. Some are unique and carry their geometry forward being known as puffballs, corals, earthstars, bird’s nest, tooth, bracket, and cup fungi.
