The humongus fungus among us (aka, What the hell is that?)



Goggla shares these photos (and that was her headline!) from Tompkins Square Park... showing some kind of blooming fungus exploding from the tree closest to the recycling bins across from the men's room.

And for scale, here is the thing next to a squirrel...



Perhaps it's a chicken of the woods? Where's a mycologist when you need one?

    That's right! "Humongous" is the only word that rhymes with "fungus."

    This may be "hen of the woods," but it looks more like "scrambled eggs of the woods."

    Better call TUBBS and have the Tweet Tower form a special task force!

    Perhaps the tree threw up on itself when it heard that this year's Santa Con has been set for December 10th. You know, protective camouflage, and all that.
