Fall colors?

As much as Alexis and I try to deny it and put it off, we have to accept that it really is fall. Technically it has been for over a week (not a full month, as those who have school-age children may think) so we will do our best to see the beauty as it unfolds. We went to the Stonybrook reservation to see some.
(I'm beginning to think I have Seasonal Affected Bipolar Disorder--I am so deliriously positive in the summer, then like somewhat pulled a switch I turn surly and struggle with depression and rage. Either I need a vitamin D IV drip or a move to the equator.)
Anyway, these colorful creations are the fruiting bodies of Laetiporus species fungi, better known as the Chicken Mushroom.
