Walking downtown the other day I was caught by this undisturbed cascade of mushrooms on a tree in the parking strip along a well-walked street. This is perhaps the largest display of mushrooms I have seen outside of a very large set, maybe 4 times this size, on a downed old-growth log some years ago. So here it is Fall again & out of nowhere comes this massive display within the city. I know it wasn't there last year because I frequent this street at least twice a week year-round. What a nice surprise and once again this just shows how convenient it is to often carry your camera and a walk-around lens with you. This was shot with a Canon 30D & a Canon 24-105 L lens on a bright sunny afternoon.

Just the very next week & all of these mushrooms have been carved away by a gasoline-powered weed eater.
I recall about 15 months ago when I shot a gorgeous White Oak in a background of fog, only to discover the very next Spring that it would be gone because of root rot, after having survived 175 years, about half of its life span. Luckily I got a shot that has been a favorite of my customers in this locale.
Never hesitate when it comes to shooting a scene which catches your eye. Keep your camera with you as much as you can and good luck.
