These bright orange mushrooms, which were growing in clusters on a dead tree,  immediately caught my attention as we drove down a winding, wooded road.  Known as ‘Chicken of the Woods’, these edible, wild mushrooms fit in perfectly with all the other beautiful colors of autumn that we are seeing.

“As long as autumn lasts, I shall not have hands, canvas and colors enough to paint the beautiful things I see.”  ~Vincent Van Gogh
