Share

We often look up at the beauty of the Golden Gate National Parks, but sometimes you can find beauty by looking down. And under. And around. That's what San Francisco Park Stewardship Intern Gabriel Tigreros has been doing lately, documenting every mushroom he can find in the Golden Gate National Parks and neighboring parklands. Take a look at some of his most funky fungi pics below and read more about his journeys here.
