As far as I know, there is a distinction between mushrooms and fungi although, in cooking, the terms are sometimes used interchangeably. Cloud ears and wood ears, for instance, are fungi, not mushrooms.
I never noticed them but my daughter did. She took this photo of some wild mushrooms, or maybe they’re fungus (don’t know if they’re edible), growing on the trunk of the banaba tree in the front garden.

I like this picture mainly because of the colors, which I can certainly see as the colors of clothes I would want to wear — the dark for trousers and the lighter ones for shirts. Very elegant.

Very nicely photographed.I could see the details of the fungus.I considered it fungus caused it attached itself to a tree. It is like when you have a fungal infection,the germs feed on you.Sorry if I grossed you out.

LOL No, no, not gross. But I’m curious… Aren’t there parasitic mushrooms as well?
