Urban mushrooms

Washington, D.C.

I have never seen mushrooms growing in the middle of a downtown area, and definitely not in DC, but there they are.

I have yet to take any “serious” pictures in either DC or Portland, so am just posting snaps from here and there before going back to my Saudi galleries. We are going to the Rose Festival on Saturday, so if it doesn’t rain (a big if!) I might be able to get some shots from that.

Car of the future? posted earlier:

Apple iPhone 6S
1/640s f/2.2 at 4.2mm iso5000 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

I think these came from spores in the mulch most likely. Interesting shaped fungi too. V
