A curious spot. #FungiFriday #fungi #lichen #mushrooms #mycology #mushroomtwitter #nature #naturelovers #photography #TwitterNatureCommunity #Michigan #UpperPeninsula #hiking #forest

On only one spot on our land have I seen variations of these clustered, weavy stemmed fungi - a spot we forgot to remove a tarp from last winter. #MushroomMonday #fungi #mushrooms #mycology #mushroomtwitter #nature #photography #TwitterNatureCommunity #Michigan #UpperPeninsula

I love the way teeny tiny fungi will pop up outta nowhere overnight and disappear the next day. Makes it more special when you spot them within that small window. #fungi #mushrooms #mycology #mushroomtwitter #nature #photography #TwitterNatureCommunity #michigan #UpperPeninsula

Same spot along the river. #Winter #snow #february #Forest #hiking #michigan #UpperPeninsula #nature #photography #TwitterNatureCommunity

even this kind of color is hard to spot against the fallen leaves during fall in the Great Lakes region. #fungi #mushrooms #mycology #mushroomtwitter #nature #photography #TwitterNatureCommunity #forest #Michigan #fall #UpperPeninsula #hiking

See those skinny trees in the background? This is roughly the same spot, fall and summer. It BLOOMS! Eventually I wanna put a cam out here to do some time-lapses. #fall #summer #seasons #nature #photography #TwitterNatureCommunity #forest #Michigan #UpperPeninsula

What an AMAZING surprise it was to spot several rowdy clusters of these bulbous fungi, right at the tail end of fall - right near where we parked! #fungi #mushrooms #mycology #mushroomtwitter #nature #photography #TwitterNatureCommunity #Michigan #UpperPeninsula #hiking

With Amanitas this big, you know I had to take like 100 pics. I wonder if they'll pop up in the same spot again? #MushroomMonday #fungi #mushrooms #mycology #mushroomtwitter #nature #naturelovers #photography #TwitterNatureCommunity #Michigan #UpperPeninsula #hiking #forest

Quite literally the most beautiful crust fungi I've ever managed to spot. #fungi #mushrooms #mycology #mushroomtwitter #nature #naturelovers #photography #TwitterNatureCommunity #Michigan #hiking #forest

Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.

I think fearlessness is having the fear in your heart but still bravely jumping.

There is no such thing as paranoia. Your worst fears could come true at any moment.

Don't be afraid of perfection - you will never achieve it.
