Feed your reading habits this fall with new science fiction, adventure, fantasy, and horror books from the collections in this post.

Fungi in the Fall Forest
When I take a stroll through the forest, I let my imagination run wild—it’s a writer’s habit and a bit of an occupational hazard. Often, my trusty companion Charlie joins me on these hikes, and you might spot her making a cameo in the pictures.
In naming these small forest growths, I’ve taken a bit of creative liberty. They may not be the official names for any living fungi, but in my humble opinion, they make sense. I’m not a seasoned mycologist*, but I’ve gleaned some knowledge from friends who spend their weekends wandering through the woods, hunting for these enigmatic growths to study their ecosystems. They also have a better grasp of which ones are edible. However, as I’m not fond of mushrooms in my meals, I have tried none of the mushrooms I’ve come across during my hikes… yet.

* A person who identifies mushrooms is called a mycologist 1. They are experts in the study of fungi, including mushrooms, molds, and yeasts. Mycologists can identify different species of mushrooms based on their physical characteristics, such as their cap shape, stem, gills, and spores 2. I am not a mycologist in a scientific sense, but I am curious about the ways that the world works around me. 🙂
Even though I’ve studied fungi for years, even studying Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences, I have never foraged fungi. I’m willing to forage berries, leaves, roots, all kinds of things. I seem to draw the line at fungi. I enjoy eating the more “domesticated” versions, but still…
The world manages itself amazingly well. I agree it’s a fascinating thing, otherwise I wouldn’t have put forth a few decades into trying to figure out how it all works and try to teach others, mostly children, about how nifty and wonderful it is.
Best luck with Good Things in your life!
Thank you GoldenGryphon, I appreciate your efforts to work with young people and to involve them in learning about the world around them.
This desire to continuously learn can be a contagious, life-long journey. Kudos to you as well!
