Instagram & Riddles... & Mushrooms

So I had an assignment to mimic an Anglo-Saxon riddle... see if you can guess (sorry this is not mushrooms hunting & identification only... this is the only thread ive ever gotten on [for years at a time as well])
I am a monument built overnight. A flower of our Fall, I triumph over the microcosm; the means of forests beginnings. I commemorate the minute deaths of the earth. Sometimes I am consumed, but always I am consuming. I am a flightless vulture who waits on the rain to deliver my carrion. I am as vast as the wind reaches, but can only be seen in detail. If I escape your recognition, it will only be momentarily. I was here before you, and will decorate you when you die.
guesses?
And Instagram... I'm not into social networking, but this thing has captured me. My account is in character (swampyappleseed) and I only follow mycologist! So i dont see what acquaintances are having for lunch or new borns, i JUST. SEE. MUSHROOMS. The people I "follow" might have a stockhold of mushrooms pictures, but going through their search feature for "fungi" or the like, you can see average joes posting mushrooms that caught their eye. Just like shroomery, I can see the waves of mushrooms sweeping up or down the east coast for their season. My lady (kinda) found some to show me and before i saw them, guessed Armillaria tabescens, 'cause I'd already seen them traveling my way via smartphone. Hope this isnt against any rules... its the internet... but it's been a cool tool to drool lika fool over mushrooms pics on the regula easy.
And now for some mushrooms to save my post (not that full attention shouldnt be given to my amazing riddle [note my line breaks in particualr ])
& snakes...
