A dapper Barometer Earthstar [Astraeus hygrometricus] found smack in the middle of an old lumbering road.

Earthstars look like a ping-pong ball sitting atop opened flower petals. In this case, the sac is a speckled white and gray, and the 6 “petals” are a cracked looking black and white. The mushroom is popping up amongst large rocks and fallen leaves.

A colony of unknown mushrooms grows on a hollow log transformed into a spring fountain in the German Black Forest

A hollow log was put horizontally as a spout for a natural spring in the forest, the water cascades out of it in a thin drizzle. The log is covered with a colony of brown-gold colored mushrooms with a flat cap. On both sides of the spring, the ground is covered in lush vegetation

Colour photograph of a small purple fungus on a very thin stem growing out of a dark, almost black piece of wood. All sorts of mosses from small to tall grow around it. Some reach up to the mushroom's cap. The background is blurred by the shallow depth of field, creating coloured circles in a variety of colours from green to pink, acorn and deep purple.

Not Around. Through. - This was a first for me. This little mushroom somehow grew through this hole in the leaf.#photography #macro #macrophotography #fungus #mushroom #nature #leaf #forest #persistence

A macro photograph of a small mushroom that has grown through a hole in a fallen leaf. The hole is very small, and it is apparent that the mushroom had to have grown through, as the head of the mushroom is wider than the hole.

I have never seen fuzzy fungi like this, but I hope to see it again!

Fungi on decaying log
Skidaway Island, GA

#MushroomMonday #Fungus #TreeFungus #Mushroom #Fungi

From a gray-brown decaying pine log arise about a dozen tan and cream-colored mushrooms. This is a close-up side view. Each has a short slender stalk that is topped with a fuzzy loop, not a cone. On the right, most of them are in a bunch. Some you can see the tops and there actually appears to be a loop that comes from the stalk at one point.

Behold this metal af mushroom that showed up in our yard! Last night it had the classic, domed mushroom shape. By morning it had turned into this!

How to describe this magnificent fungi. It sprouts up from the spiky, redwood leaf litter on a smooth, cream colored stalk - maybe 10-15cm tall (but what do I know as an American 🙄). What was last night a tall, domed cap the same color as the stem transformed overnight into a disk shape ringed with shiny, almost metallic black fronds that curl under. Other gray mushroom anatomy going on inside the ring.
