Giant Conic Morel | Molly moocher Sponge mushroom Highly polymorphic |
A
lthough morels can pop up just about any time under favorable conditions, an extremely large fungus is a curious find. This one was spotted just off interstate 71 in Western Missouri, a few miles north of Nevada. Imprecise on-location triangulation determined this magnificent mushroom specimen is thirty feet tall! Colossal objects like this are nectarous; one should always photograph them. Of course when traveling with Ownby-Wan Kenobi, giant oddities are frequently encountered and must be documented in support of “the force.”
“Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter.” - Yoda
