Mushroom Fungus Of Oregon Video I have not made it any secrete that I have many photographs of mushroom or fungus of Oregon. From wikipedia, "A mushroom is the fleshy, spore-bearing fruiting body of a fungus, typically produced above ground on soil or on its food source. Mushrooms are not plants: they are a fungus. They eat organic matter, they do not photosynthesize like plants do." Mushrooms are unique. They grow most everywhere, if one just looks. Some can be eaten, though really I do not have this kind of experience to put such things in my mouth. Though many do!! This is some of my photographs of mushrooms I just happen to come across. I do not go looking for them, they just happen to be where I am. Be it on trees, growing on the ground, or like one species it was hanging within the trees! Like that species just fell from the sky! Now some have been eaten by wildlife, some have wildlife in the photo! Some mushrooms are very big. Bigger then Guy's hand! Some species are very little. Some species do not even look like it should be a living thing! Nature is pretty neat!

Manipulating nature is not as hard as some people like it to be. All plants need is an atmosphere that they like.

I have several species of these "Shamrock" plants.

We came across many of these caterpillars feeding on Nettle and some other plants.

Meet the Sweat Bee. Rather pretty in color with the fluorescent green dont you think? The flower the Sweat Bee is feeding on is a wild Strawberry plant that just started growing on it's own. No doubt the seeds coming from the birds?

Laurent Ponce came back, in last January, from a trip in Myanmar. To remember forever the faces of the people he met there and who have marked him deeply, he did a series of portraits showing inhabitants and passer-by he ran into. He explains that although it's an evolving country, the people still live a traditional life. For instance, they wear longyi (long skirt), puts thanaka (white-yellow cosmetic powder), hunt and fishing, and chew plants called Betels.

Karner Blue Butterfly Melissa blue butterfly. This is a endangered butterfly species found only in a few places now. The larva feed off the wild lupine, which is going away. They only lay their eggs on the wild lupine. This was captured at a wild breeding spot here in Oregon that we stumbled upon.
