Coral Fungi
One day a couple of years ago on a gravel road somewhere between Chepstow and the Greenock Swamp, I got a flat tire in a rental vehicle. As it turns out Enterprise forgot to to leave me a spare tire so I booked it to Walkerton. By the time I arrived at a garage I wasn't quite on the rim, but about as close as you could get. What does that have to do with this picture? Nothing, other than after I got the tire changed I found this coral fungi in a forest near the Greenock Swamp.
