The Big Dead-Fish Clean-Up
A huge thank you to the volunteers who pitched in yesterday to remove all those dead fish from the Celery…
In the interest of science, I uprooted one of the mystery mushrooms/plants so it could be ID'd better.
I also photographed a cellphone next to it so you can gauge the size better.
Black knot fungus? Perhaps growing on a root.
The SEEK app says Old Man of the Woods.

That must be it.
Skunk cabbage flower cluster / seed pod.
