Fungi & Moss

#FungiFriday #Mosstodon #Mushtodon #Nature #Photography

A cluster of small, slender mushrooms growing out of a thick carpet of bright green moss. The mushrooms have thin, pale white or cream-colored stems and bell-shaped to slightly conical caps that are a warm, moist-looking brown or tan color, with some having darker centers.

A beam of sunlight illuminates the mushrooms and the moss, creating strong highlights on the wet-looking caps and stems, and casting deep shadows that add to the atmosphere of the image.

Some cute mushrooms I saw today at Lynn Canyon Park

A single mushroom with a thin squiggly stem, on bright green moss, in a forest with tall trees in the background

Looking up under two little mushrooms with long thin stems. Their caps are touching each other and we can see the light shining through the gills

Two little mushrooms poking out of a crevice between moss covered rocks. One of them looks like it's leaning to whisper something to the other, with their caps touching.

Bright Smurf, Big Smurf (they can't hold you down)

#Fungi #Mushtodon #Nature #Photography #Smurf

A dense cluster of fungi growing on a rotting tree stump in a forest during autumn. The mushrooms are growing in layered, overlapping groups. Their caps vary in color, transitioning from a light yellowish-tan or golden-brown at the edges and in the center of the younger, upper mushrooms, to a darker, rich brown in the larger, more mature specimens below.

Many caps exhibit a slight concentric ring pattern or a change in color towards the center. They have a generally convex to flattened shape and appear smooth and somewhat moist or velvety.

The fungi are attached to a dark, textured wood surface, which is the tree material they are feeding on. The surrounding area is the forest floor, scattered with leaf litter in various shades of brown and yellow.
