Shrooms all over planet earth pt.1

I have a deep connection to mushrooms.
Actually all of us have: The mycelium itself is conected all around the globe and appears in very extravagant, strange and beautyful ways.
"The" mushroom is by far the biggest organism on this planet and it's purposes are just as strange and different as its appearances above ground.

Having learned so much about me and life through the mushroom, crazy looks are absolutely astonishing to me.
So whenever I meet one of my friends and I like its look, I take a picture.
I've taken mushy pics for about ten years (didn't have a camera until the age of 20) and in many different parts of the world, such as many countries inSouth America, Iceland, Scotland and New Zealand. But when summer's gone, I put on my rain jacket and spend at least the sunny weekends in the woods and every year I am amazed by the bizare creatures I get to take pictures from.

I hope, this series will open your eyes to their beauty, if this isn't the case yet.

So here we go:

The first ones I met in Scotland in Rhidorroch, close to Ullapool. This place is absolutely stunning and I think, it's worth visiting even for its name.

No. 2-4 grew in a forest nearby, where you can find me looking for chestnuts and mushrooms in late September.

I hope, you enjoyed this first tiny gallery. It's not supposed to prove any photographic skills, but to give you an impression of the mycelium ecosystem that's all around and even inside out bodies (and brains...?^^)

More will follow soon...
