Wild Mushroom in the Korean Garden

Hiking through Meadowlark Botanical Gardens in Vienna, VA to capture their fall foliage, I stumbled on this perfect example of a wild mushroom growing alone in a clearing behind their Korean Bell Garden. I find it unusual to see wild mushrooms in such pristine conditions with so many squirrels and chipmunks in the area. This was a rare and beautiful find.
