Fungi Friday - A VARIETY OF SHAPES ON THE FOREST FLOOR
There is a great variety of fungi these days, here in my area ...
... especially in the dense, humid forests ...
... the weather is still warm ... around noon it feels like summer ... the sea is still good to jump in and swim ... but the nights are fresh and longer, mornings bring mist and dew and in the coastal forests ...
... the fungi invasion is in progress ...
... in this post ... I'm trying :) to kind of paint a picture ...
( Enlargeable )... of that diversity ...
... using photographs.
( Enlargeable )For most of this fungi ...
... I can't give you ...
... much information...
( Enlargeable )... besides their appearance ...
( Enlargeable )
... because ...
... I'm not much of a fungi expert ...
( Enlargeable )
... just a guy obsessed with these fabulous ...
( Enlargeable )... shapes and colors ...
( Enlargeable )... in nature.
( Enlargeable )This one ad example ... was very interesting to explore photographically ...
( Enlargeable )... with different light ...
( Enlargeable )... and from a slightly different position. It was an interesting changing sculpture.
The same fungi ... not only the same species ... but literally the same one ...
( Enlargeable )... a few days later ...
A tiny violet mushroom ...
( Enlargeable )
... with some round fungi blurred in the background ...
( Enlargeable )
... and here ...
... a more focused look at those round shapes.
Another, similar species ...
( Enlargeable )... and a more detailed look at its surface.
A coral shape in the moss.
( Enlargeable )
A very elegant little thing in the fallen leaves.
Some other coral shapes.
And the strange thing ...
( Enlargeable )... called ...
( Enlargeable )... the witch's heart ... yep, that's the local name for this fungi.
( Enlargeable )
Some other ...
( Enlargeable )... strange little things ...
( Enlargeable )... in the dark ...
( Enlargeable )A few more ...
... unidentified ...
... little fungi ...
... these last one growing on some dissolving mushroom ...
( Enlargeable )... and that's it ... this little fungi collection is over :) THE END
( As always in these posts on Steemit, all the photographs are my work )
Stunning...nature has an imagination, doesn' t it?
Reminds me of some creations I've seen (pictures, not in person) in haute cuisine restaurants. An example: https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-sea-devil-in-green-rice-on-safran-risotto-food-haute-cuisine-20946499.html
Perhaps the chefs in these restaurants haunt fungus gardens for inspiration :)
:) It seems so ... things you see in nature are rarely dull. When I take a better and deeper look at things, the real world looks like a fantasy or a Syfy creation. Hehehe very fungi like dish, maybe some harmless or even beneficial fungal infection can push the imagination and creativity of the chef in that direction :D

Amazing collection... 😮
You are indeed blessed with such variety and you did well with the photographic detailing and exploration!!
Oh man.. you know when you post mushrooms like that I want to hide...
Amazing photos! All of them!
:) Thanks
Those are so beautiful! I am always amazed by the variety of mushrooms in your neighborhood. We have a lot around here, but nothing like yours!
:) Cool ... I thought that variety here is nothing special and that there is more elsewhere.
I think the same but backwards! I guess every place on earth has its own special collection. It's fun to get to see them here, since I can't afford to travel.
Absolutely. No place has everything, and everywhere is something special. I'm also traveling only here in the neighborhood and on the Internet :)
Wow nice variety, i wonder what that false morel looking shroom is.

I think I found it once in a fungi guide book ... but now I don't remember what it was ... and I don't have that book ... It got lost some years ago ...
