Deadman's Foot 30 Oct 2010 |
||||
|
| An unusual looking "Deadman's Foot" fungus erupts at the edge of a county road. |
|
| This fungus loves asphalt, hard-packed soils, waste areas. |
|
| As the Deadman's Foot expands to release its spores, its cap splits into sections. |
|
| These fat "toes" will arch backwards and spread wide apart. |
|
| This gives this fungus the appearance of a swollen and decomposing human foot, hence its name. |
