Last weekend (or was it two weekends ago already?) the family and I had the opportunity to catch one of the last shining golden days of autumn, and we went out to the local nature reserve / park / artificial lake / walking trail. Thingy. It was well worth the effort, and along the way, I saw many fun guys having a great time in the damp moss beneath the pines. First, let me set the mood:
Gold everywhere.

This fun guy was kind of alien, and I’m pretty sure – no fun guy at all!

And a final lot of fun guys:
Looks like fun!
I really want to learn more about edible mushrooms one day.
Lovely, lovely photos. I often tell people you sure don’t need to eat a mushroom to enjoy it; they are just amazing things all on their own, so many colors and shapes!
Very nice. I’ve just started playing No Man’s Sky, and a lot of the planets are populated with mushroom-like organisms. I don’t know why fungus is the go-to aesthetic for so many sci-fi landscapes, but it’s cool nonetheless.
Gilliel: if you want to learn about edible fungi, remember: There are old mushroom hunters and bold mushroom hunters, but no old, bold mushroom hunters.
The pictures are amazing. I wish my camera would take pictures of small things without turning them into blobs.
That last one might be half a fungi ie a lichen, not sure.
Another fun fun guy collection! My favourite is the one lolling about. I just love it when they pick up whatever was in the way of their growth and make it part of their outfit.
