Evasive Agaric, A Beautiful Fungus

I am often awestruck by the beauty of things in nature. Mushrooms come to mind when I’m thinking of what is beautiful around me.

These saprobic fungi are a good example, reminding me of something made of delicate lace. Saprobic fungi, meaning they break down organic matter. Lovely to look at and they help the environment too.

These are Evasive Agaric (Crepidotus versutus).
