Fungus heaven

All the rain of late has led to an explosion of fungal growth. Here are a couple of pictures of some of the interesting mushrooms or toadstools that I have seen in our yard.



These were way up in a tree above my head. (Thank goodness for telephoto lenses!!)



This one is a bright color that I found quite appealing.

They come in the prettiest colors.

The red one looks like one I saw on my recent fungi walk but as it was in a tree crevice, unfortunately didn't get a good photo. (I haven't posted my photos yet)

Did you see any fairies lurking about?

I know some of the red ones aren't.

Gorgeous!
Looks like a perfect starting point for some enamel work!
(or at least saved for color reference for painting)
