Lobster Mushroom

On a late fall adventure up north, I got to experience the best time of year to view fungi growing in the Minnesota. Staying within Pine County in a small off the grid shack, we made our way over to St. Croix State Park. We made it time for our old coworkers program. Even on our way to the program I was able to find so many species growing right out of the fill next to the paved trail. After the program we made our way to the firetower at the park. This area was littered with another large collection of mushroom species. I was able to find so many but the degraded and bright lobster mushroom that i found by the picnic table. Other foliage blocked its view so I really only caught a glimpse of color and went investigating. It was in poor condition, but the color was so bright.
