I have always been fascinated by mushrooms and taken many pictures of them,this one was growing in our front yard a few years ago.

The fact that there is now research being done on how they might help clean up toxic waste is a good thing and if it is proven to work seems like a much better alternative that the others available.

Even with all the study and research that has been done over the years there is still so much we don't know about nature and the value of many wild plants.This is one reason we must work to protect wild areas and their inhabitants.
