Utah's Goblin Valley State Park is a great example of how different types of stone mushrooms grow from a quartz substrate, and then whole mountains of different species that can be sown and harvested.
We have already seen something similar in the article: "How mountains grow and fill space: truffle stones."
Let's complete the picture:
The caps are just opening, the legs are crawling out of the substrate.
Promotional video:
Young animals in the foreground, adults in the distance.
If all this was washed away by a stream (water, mud, it doesn't matter), then why so selectively? why are the caps at different heights?
Let me remind you that we have already seen exactly the same picture in the previous article.
The caps and legs are still visible here, the space is not yet filled, but growth is in full swing.
The bed is almost ripe.
The hats and legs are of the same diameter, the space is almost mastered in the foreground. on the right, juveniles are still visible, caps open and ready to merge:
The hats have opened, the legs have expanded, the sphere of influence is almost tightened:
2 generations in one photo: small germinating seeds in the foreground and mature / ripe mountains in the far:
Back in Utah to the Goblins:
In adults, the caps have not disappeared yet, or a new layer / floor is being cut:
Pay attention to the background with traces of quarrying.
In the foreground, the fibers of the quartz substrate are clearly visible, stretching towards the caps. Of course, this is not a 100% copy of the mycelium, but the principle is the same.
For comparison:
And here are the goblins themselves (the embodied spirits of the valley)).
This is how it looks from the satellite. Isn't it a mycelium or a coral branch?
For comparison, mycelium:
Skeptics will say that this is a mudflow. possibly. only where did it come from, where is the source?
The "stream" clearly went from the south to the northwest, and in the south there are no large mountains or volcanoes from which it could descend in such quantities.
So here we are dealing with a coral formation, which was first germinated, and then developed by a quarry method, as evidenced by the rounded stepped mountains at the top of the picture.
This is how these quarries look from the ground:
Coral and bone for comparison:
Pay attention to the growths on the tips of the branches.
These are the very goblin mushrooms, just on a different scale. Everything is fractal and similar)
