once my eyes adjusted they were as numerous as the stars
#FungiFriday #Fungiverse #Mushtodon #Mosstodon #Sporespondence
Three mushrooms growing out of a mossy log on the forest floor. They are arranged in a step pattern, with the largest and highest in the left, the next largest and highest in the middle just below, and the smallest and lowest just below that one.
Some mushrooms growing at the base of a fallen log on the forest floor. One has an empty beech nut shell perfectly balanced on top.
A cluster of a dozen tightly packed mushrooms emerging from the forest floor. The forest is brightly light and yellow. And acorn cap sits in the foreground.
Two very small and slender mushrooms emerging from the leaf duff on the forest floor. They are blooming next to a decaying stick and partly covered by a roof of fallen leaves. The caps are almost translucent.

Checked on one of my favourite mushroom stumps and these spectacular fellows appeared seemingly out of nowhere overnight!
The stump as a whole. Turkey tail shelf fungi have colonized one root; the remains of ink-caps are deliquescing in a central groove; and on the other side, though hidden, there are some dead man's fingers.
The mushroom cluster seen from above.
A large cluster of mushrooms, with somewhat shaggy conical orange-yellow caps and sturdy white stems, rising from the centre of a tree stump in someone's yard, seen from ground level.

#FungiFriday: the rain has caused a proliferation of bird's nest fungi (family Nidulariaceae) in the garden! Raindrops splashing into the cups disperses the lentil-shaped packets of spores. Earlier stages, before the cups develop, resemble toasted marshmallows. PBS Deep Look has a great video about them: https://youtu.be/_EBipTLgPUw
Growing bird's nest fungi fruiting bodies on mulch amid fallen honey locust leaves. The larger one looks like the top of a toasted marshmallow, brown crackled with white. The smaller is orangey all over and rough-textured.
Close-up of another cup with five "eggs" in it. There are small orange growths near the base of the cup which are early stages of the fruiting body.
A cluster of three little brown cups growing on black wooden mulch (which I kind of hate but I didn't pick it). Two have several flat, round, pale egg-like structures in them.

#FungiFriday is once again upon us! Here are some pear-shaped puffballs (Apioperdon pyriforme), which I'm told are edible but I have yet to actually try because they tend to be pretty small and seem tedious to prepare lol
#mushtodon #sporespondence #mushrooms #fungi #NaturePhotography #macrophotography #photography
one more photo showing a cluster of quite a few of the same puffballs; this one again is cast in a softer light, and here we get a glance at the slightly narrowed and elongated base that earn these puffballs their "pear-shaped" moniker
another photo of two of the same fungi growing directly adjacent to each other through a more intact portion of bark; at least one more insect damage hole is visible on one of them, and green moss can be seen growing in the deep cracks of the bark; the lighting here is softer and flatter than the previous photos
macro photo of two more of the same fungi, these ones growing on the top of the log; the one on the left is larger and has two round holes in it, where it seems some tiny creature has been snacking; the one on the right is smaller, and it appears its outer skin is just starting to stretch and crack at the top
macro photo of three light brown, nearly perfectly round puffball fungi growing on the side of a dead log; only the center one is in focus, and we can see its thin light brown skin cracking apart slightly, revealing the pure white flesh underneath; it's also dotted all over with tiny, dark brown speckles that protrude slightly, giving it a bit of a rough texture; the scene is lit by bright sunlight from the left, casting sharp shadows onto the log from which the fungi grow

almost the same as the other photo, just with slightly different framing and focus
macro photo of several tiny mushrooms growing from the side of a stick; the stalks are mostly dark with a slight light speckling, but fade to white as they near the cap; the caps are white and irregularly shaped, appearing to have dried up somewhat; under the caps are similarly colored gills which run down the stalk a bit; at the base of the stalk each one flares out a bit where it attaches to the stick

Look I missed #FungiFriday so you're getting #ShroomSaturday okay
A creamy brown-red mushroom growing through fallen leaves on an autumnal forest floor
A single tiny delicate white mushroom growing through fallen leaves on a russet-brown forest floor
Purple mushrooms clustered around the base of a tree, with moss in the foreground
A little white mushroom protruding from the forest floor. There's a blurred orange mushroom in the foreground and sticks and fallen leaves all around.
