The forest’s color palette 🎨

Looking straight down at a the circular cap of a bolete mushroom. There are a few bite marks exposing a whitish flesh. The cap is about 2 ½ inches across and is reddish ochre. It looks sort of velvety. Definitely the kind of mushroom you’d show off if you were a woodland faerie.

Looking straight down on the circular cap of a bolete mushroom. Its cap is roughly 4 inches across and has a few chomp marks. It is pale red with the inner skin being white/yellow. It is a smooth top that gently angles downward as you get to the edge.

I'm seeing fungus/mycelium-based materials in the news again as potentially green alternatives and it's time to remind people that "mushrooms build large underground networks of mycelium" is wrong. Correct* is "the large underground networks of mycelium occasionally grow some mushrooms". Writing the first is like if we couldn't usually see apple trees and wrote that "apples grow large wooden support structures".
