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.

    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)

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