Jack-o’-lantern mushrooms cling to the edge of a tree stump. This eye-catching fungus is quite a fun sight to see, especially in such an otherwise manicured golf course.
In the corner of a golf course are a couple of established oak trees as well as an old tree stump. Usually after a rain, a variety of mushrooms pops up from the earth in this very corner. Elaborate clusters of wavy orange jack-o’-lantern mushrooms cling to the tree stump. In the grass, giant puffball mushrooms look like oversized white buns that have yet to be baked in the oven.
A more unruly wooded landscape might require more deliberate mushroom locating. The mushrooms in this corner of the golf course, however, are more noticeable probably because they are surrounded by such manicured landscaping. No bushes. Short grass. Their untamed beings stand out. Yet by being in such a remote corner, they are also arguably unnoticeable, which leaves these stunning fungus specimens to be left undisturbed. So in the corner the mushrooms grow and are fun surprises with each discovery.
