A photo from 2023 of a #mushroom that grew so big it started splitting at the edges for #FungiFriday.

Looking down at a pale yellow mushroom. Its slightly darker edges are split regularly all around by white lines where the outer skin has split.

#FungiFriday - This is the type of photos where I spend more time in the field than in post-processing to obtain the result that I want. This is how I approach my work: take the time to properly capture the subject (light, settings, perspective, composition...) in order to avoid spending ''hours'' trying to fix mistakes in post-processing.

Close-up of a little brown mushroom on a bed of green moss. It is backlit and shot from below so the light shows details under the cap. The background is dark green and out of focus due to the short of depth of field.

#FractalFriday meets #FungiFriday meets #Mosstodon.

It's been raining for days on end, which means that the moss is happy, growing shiny and bright green. In this case on a bracket fungus that grows on a tree stump hosting 3 generations of them.

$Macro image of what seems to resemble a Mandelbrot fractal in shades of green. Looking at the parts in focus, the details reveal it's moss covering the surface of a bracket fungus.$

Portrait image giving context to the macro: A mossy tree stump with 3 vertically stacked bracket fungus that look like young, middle and old generation from bottom to top. The lower, younger one in shades of ochre, the middle one in mossy green and the top one in dark brown.

Fashionable muted hues on these Turkey Tail [Trametes versicolor] mushrooms.

Looking down at an angle at a moss covered fallen branch in the woods. It is nearly covered with shell-like flat mushrooms growing out from the side. The tops are a multitude of colors, all muted, of tans, grays, browns, and white. There are approximately 75 mushrooms pictured.

Three white polypore mushrooms growing from a fallen log. There are several more very small ones. Twigs and dead grasses around.

Rotten day all day so I was desperate for some therapy from Mother Nature and she delivered #FungiFriday on a Monday along with #mosstodon! I think we’re talking #TrametesVersicolor here. However, the one is fairly flat, and the other is more cupped like the basic structure of a rose. Not sure if they’re family or what. #moss

Bluish-grey, brown, and cream shelf-like fungi growing up the side of a moss-covered tree stump. Moss is dark green with short wispy fronds or hair-like growth.

Shelf-like fungi, but shaped in a kind of cup form similar to a rose with layers of cups, so to speak.Grey-green, beige, and cream colours in bands. Growing on a tree stump with wispy fronds of moss.

Saw this yellow stuff growing on a log while on a hike. Not sure if it's a fungus or maybe a slime mold

Various shiny yellow blobs on a mossy log. They look maybe goopy but hold their shape in a way that suggests they aren't

Mossy log with some kind of shiny yellow globs that might be a fungus or slime mold

Almost forgot to share these today; been saving them for #FungiFriday!

color film photo of a few shelf fungi growing from the end of a dead stick in an arrangement that almost resembles a flower; the fungi are somewhat overexposed, but appear to be mostly off-white with some darker rust-brown bands; probable ID is some member of the genus Stereum

color film photo of a large decomposing log laying on its side, with many thin shelf fungi growing from it; these fungi are primarily a grey color with thin dark and light bands radiating from the center, and one much thicker band of white along the edge; ID is unknown

color film photo of a decomposing tree that has seemingly somewhat recently fallen over, but remains partially attached to its stump; there are many small white shelf fungi growing from the bark-covered parts of the tree; ID is unknown

A brown/red mushroom hangs of the underside of a horizontal fence bar. There is spikey grass underneath.

a bundle for #FungiFriday , 2 of 2

a blended bouquet of white fungus growing without a particular shape or form, among some dead tree needles and very vibrant live green moss

an overhead view of a grove of flowering turkey tails on the side of a stump, with their signature wavy white rims and bands of brown, varying in shade from darker to light based on the part of the tree they're growing from

a fallen tree with part of its bark stripped off, the remaining bark riddled with woodpecker holes; some mushrooms are just starting to grow out of the old holes

an overhead view of another fallen tree with turkey tails along its side, and hundreds of woodpecker holes in its bark along the top, looking almost mechanical or digital in its structure

a close-up of a conk-type mushroom, with a black lump on top surrounded by a thick white ring, which is coated in drops of extruded excess moisture, each drop reflecting its surroundings and focusing a tiny bit of light beneath it like a magnifying glass

an overhead view of a shelf-type mushroom with two competing colors, deep gold and black, patterned over the top surface like someone dripped paint onto it

a white bulbous mushroom growing from a tree's side, painted to look like an eyeball, with deep blue iris and "bloodshot" lines (that I initially thought was some sticky squishy eye someone stuck to the tree!)

the underside of a VERY large shelf mushroom, large enough that some passers by have used it as a canvas to write on, including a stylized swirly heart, and a message "I MET MYSELF"

Several small teacup shaped fungi in a caramel color grow on the upper surface of an angled branch, with ferns in the background.

With the snow rapidly melting in the woods, mushrooms like these Amber Jelly Rolls [Exidia recisa] are beginning to reappear, similar to uncovering excavation artifacts.
