Cool mushroom growing along side one of the parking lots that I ride through on pretty much every bike ride.
More cool mushrooms along the bike path in Genesee Valley Park - Rochester, NY. This one I know the name of because I Googled them? Omphalotus illudens The Jack O'Lantern mushroom. The Jack O'Lantern part comes from the bright orange color --- they are even brighter orange in person! Halloween is coming up soon .... a time for weird scarey things? The story of Google and the Jack O'Lantern mushrooms. Thinking that maybe I could find out what these were because they were very bright colored. Also the size of the clumps.... the smaller clump was about 18 inches across! I started typing --- b r i g h t o r -- and there it was! Second on the list of Google provided options was "bright orange mushrooms"! Pretty weird and/or pretty scarey! Did Google know where I was, and deduce that Genesee Valley Park was a good spot for bright orange mushrooms? Did Google have a record of somebody else having Googled "bright orange mushrooms" from that location? Did they somehow access the pictures I had just taken?
