Five white pipes coming out of the mossy forest floor.

Several artists' bracket mushrooms (Ganoderma spp) decorate the sawed bottom of an old moss covered log in Money Creek Campground. There are two clusters of white hoof-shaped brackets topped with red and brown tops at the top, near the decomposing bark, and a scattering of budding fungi looking like creamy blobs covers the lower edge. The log rests on a bed of mosses, ferns and small plants. Green shrubs and tall trees loom in the background.
