Result of a wet Spring


The other day I went down to the lake and my eyes caught something and I had to take a closer look. As I bent down to investigate, it became apparent that it was a mushroom. In fact, there was not only one, but two of them. Knowing that some mushrooms can have serious effect when ingested, I did some research and found out that they are Morels. Being the cautious type I left them alone. I was not that hungry that I depended on this quite beautiful fungi.
 
A Morel
With all the rain that we have had here in the Midwest it's not a surprise that this Morel appeared in our backyard.
