Mushrooms Wait For No Man...

Or bittersweet as evidenced in this photo I took recently.

This is a Lepiota growing in a pile of woodchips near a meadow. Recently there had been invasive species removal where a lot of bittersweet had been pulled up. Bittersweet roots are bright orange (a great identifier if you have this pesky plant invading your yard.) As you can see, the bittersweet seemed to "reroot" itself, just as the Lepiota was coming up. The mushroom, growing at a much faster clip, shrugged it off and decided to "reroute" its growth.

Not quite as dramatic as Godzilla vs. Megalon, I'll admit, but it's a nice glimpse into the mushroom world.
