Fungus amoungous

One of the many enjoyments of the Pacific Northwest is the variety of fungus.  Such a wonderful creation.  What one sees above the surface is it's flower, its sex organ, its fruit of labor.  Underground, the fungus is a complex web of microbia that fills the soil gaps like grout in a brick wall.  But instead of inert grout, the fungus acts as a laboratory, chemically altering the soil, both mineral and organic.
