Nature Study Photographs

Note: Identification of the mushrooms is not an exact science especially from a photograph, you should never pick and sample wild mushrooms unless you know what you are doing.

Many thanks to Greg Marley for the tentative identification of the fungi.  If you are interested in mushrooms Greg is very knowledgeable on the subject, written several books about mushrooms and he is from Maine.
