I found this fungi below a decay tree, but it is growing attached to a plant. They are both helping each other to grow which shows a mutualistic symbiosis. Both the little plant and the mushroom are supported by the decay tree and they might be using the decay tree's nutrients to grow. The fungi is dull white with a top brown portion.

I found this parasitic fungi in a garden. I saw that the plant was decaying and I notice those yellow spot fungi. It infects the plant and stops photosynthesis until the plant dies. It looks as if the fungi is eating the plant because when the plant dies it has holes in its leaves. The fungi went from leaf to leaf until it infected the whole plant.

This fungi is very hard. It is attached to the tree. I tried to remove some of it but it was impossible. The tree is alive, it does not look like a parasitic or commensalism symbiosys, it is more like a mutualistic symbiosys, because both the tree and the fungi look very healthy. It is dull brown on the top and is light brown the other parts.

White moss fungi, I found this fungi on the middle part of the tree. It is very white and is easy to remove it from the tree. The tree is near a pound which means that humidity created this white moss. The tree does not look affected at all, but there is some black material around it.

I found the yellow slime mold on a decaying tree. The yellow slime mold is brown on the surface and a bright yellow in the inside. The fungi is decomposing the decay tree. The fungi is very soft when I touched I easily destroy it's structure. It was difficult to identify this type of fungi.

I found this Basidiomycota mushrooms, from the kingdom fungi. It is kind of white, it is about 5 centimeters. It is not attached to the tree but instead it is attach to the tree's roots. It is about 8 centimeters away from the trunk. The fungi stalk is located in the middle of the fungi. There might be a mutualistic symbiosis between the fungi and the tree. Their roots pass nutrients to each others.

The tree is very big, but it is death. The fungi is white. It looks like the fungi is decomposing the tree, it is difficult to get rid of the white fungi, it is attached to the tree. The fungi might have been the cause of the tree's death. There are some insects on the tree trunk but they don't seem to be bother by the fungi. Both are helping to the decomposition of the death tree. From the family basidiomycota.

The fungi looks white powdery. It is a disease to the orange tree. It appears in humid places but dry climates. It is parasitic to the plant because the fungi is expanding from leave to leave. There are more leaves with the same white powder. It is soft. The fungi is located at the to of the orange tree. There are ants in the leaves, it seems that there a mutualistas relationships between the ant and the fungi. The fungi decomposes some of the nutrients in the leave and the ant waits and then eat it.

On Monday, October 2nd, 2015; I found a Fungi Basidiomycota attached to a tall tree in Hollenbeck Park. The tree don't look affected by the presence of the fungi, I assume that there is a mutualistic relationship. The fungi is very big it is about 6 centimeters, it has a dull brown in the top and a lighter brown in the bottom part of the mushroom. The spores are visible, they are very big, the fungi is very tough, I tried to take a part of it but is very difficult. The fungi is located in the highest part of the tree because it is easier to expand its spores.
