FungiFriday - Rocks and needles

Life of a small mushroom is not easy. After waiting for month for some rain and a temperature drop and all the "hooray, lets start growing", the real battle starts. First the roots, rocks and sand. All needs to be pushed to the sides.
Then after it finally pushed though those, there is a maze of needles and other green stuffs that stand on the way to freedom.

And after all that effort, the sun comes and dries the little shroom to a crisp.
Yet the next year they will do it all over again...

My contribution to #FungiFriday by @ewkaw

I hope many of you will join as there are only 2 simple rules:

• when Friday comes post your own, original photo/drawing/art/food/anything-at-all of any type of fungi (yes, I will check and report stolen images!)
• add #FungiFriday tag (it doesn't have to be your first tag)
  That's all :)
