Mushrooms of Muir Woods

Walking along the paths at Muir Woods, we noticed the variety of mushrooms and fungi growing among the trees and the forest floor. Since there were many branches that have fallen from trees as well as the rotting trunks of fallen trees, there were a lot of opportunities for mushrooms and other fungi to grow and spread in ways they only can in a natural, minimally disturbed environment. We were not experts but could appreciate the variety, their colors and different shapes. Following is a photo journal we compiled from our trip to Muir Woods.
