Coral

I would love to tell you that I took this picture while scuba-diving at the Great Barrier Reef in the Coral Sea, off the coast of Queensland, in northeast Australia. But, like George Washington, fessing up to his father about having chopped down the cherry tree, I, too, cannot tell a lie.

 

I believe that, what we have here are White Worm Coral Mushrooms, supposedly edible, though I haven't tried them. Bob H and I discovered them on the trail around Lake Lagunitas last Sunday. A great variety of mushrooms were in evidence, a result of the recent rain.
