Fungi at deaths door

I had seen a driveway full of leaves from the liquid amber trees this morning as I strode round the block. I went back this afternoon when there was sun on them. When I got down on my knees for a low wide angle there was an old fungi almost covered by the beautiful leaves. Shrivelling up with mould breaking it down I couldn't think of a nicer way to go. Better than being squashed by a vehicle.
