  • Question

    First time this one has been seen. Within 50 feet of Cobbet's Pond in Windham, NH. I have not enhanced the image at all. Love to know what it is. Lots of mushrooms popping up within the last week, I'm guessing this is a fungi of some sort.

    Answer

    Dear JimB49, you've photographed the fruits of Arisaema triphyllum (Jack-in-the-pulpit). The leaves and enfolding spathe have senesced, but the fruits remain later in the season. Best wishes.
