From the beds we wake up in to the buses we take and the offices we work at, it often seems like we live on a man-made planet. But the natural world is all around us, all the time. It's just we build such intricate hideouts, we sometimes forget about it. So let's refresh our memory.
For that, Bored Panda invites you to visit 'The Fabulous Weird Trotters.' It's a Facebook page that regularly shares pictures of the "sometimes weird, sometimes fabulous, and every time fabulous weird" faces of Mother Nature.
They've got adorable plants, atmospheric ghost lights, creepy spiders, and much, much more. No wonder over 1.3 million people follow this page.

#50 "Rhodotus Palmatus, Aka The Wrinkled Peach
Rhodotus is a saprobic mushroom, meaning it feeds off of dead organic matter, specifically fallen hardwood logs. It has a “circumboreal” distribution, and can be found in North America, Europe, North Africa, as well as Asia.
It is most likely to fruit during cooler temperatures after long periods of rainy weather. This beauty is not edible and hard to find, but wow what a cool looking mushroom!"
