Joe Nudell picks violet toothed polypore (Trichaptum biforme) mushrooms during a walk he led on the Hardwick Trails, June 28. This mushroom grows in layered groups on stumps and logs of deciduous wood where hundreds of them can eat away at tree stumps and logs, decomposing the dead wood.

Joe Nudell gathers edible chicken of the woods (Laetiporus sulphureus) mushrooms, said to taste like chicken when cooked, from a dying tree on the Hardwick Trails with a small group that stuck around following a walk he led Saturday, June 28. Mushrooms can appear suddenly, feed humans and animals, sometimes send human minds spinning, have a vital relationship to the trees around them and truly are unique organisms.
