Title: Red Mushroom

Description: On my hike this afternoon I came across this beautiful red mushroom. I am full of questions. How do individual mycelium spores organize themselves into this beautiful structure? Who decides which spores become what parts? Like human stem cells, how do they decide what specific roles they are going to play?
