Fungi of the Appalachian Trail. This tiny coral fungus was growing along the Trail a couple days ago north of the AT Museum in Gardners, PA. Kind of the stalagmites to pair with the stalactite-like one growing on the side of a tree a few days back. #appalachiantrail #pennsylvania #fungus #mushrooms #AT2015
