Forest bathing fungi.

This weekend, I went out on yet another forest bathing fungi discovery session. I know that a lot of the fungi are coming to the end of their spotting season, so I couldn’t resist having another forage in the undergrowth. I wasn’t disappointed, as once again there were little beauties popping out from underneath the leaf litter. As you know, I am no expert in identification, but I do love their amazing array of colours, shapes and sizes.

Along with growing on the woodland floor, I also found different varieties growing on trees. Some of the trees were still alive, and others were fallen and were covered in moss, which gave a lovely photographic setting for the fungus.

My favourite mushrooms for colour, have to be Fly Agaric and Amethyst Deceiver. Although these mushrooms seems to be harder to find now, as we are heading towards the end of October.

For texture, I have loved finding the Common Puffball with their bumpy surface. I don’t know whether it is because they are so white, as well, but to me they look very clinical.
