Fungi Friday - Macro Morels

I decided to take some macros of the morels I found for this #fungifriday by @ewkaw and for the fungi lovers group by @qwerrie

This is the top of mnt. Morel. J/k this is the biggest of the half free morels I found against a white light backdrop. The backlighting accents it's strange cartilage texture. It almost looks like melted wax.

This is the smaller of the half free morels I found. I suspect some tiny elves would find this a suitable hut to live in. They just need to carve a door in the stem.

Here is a closeup of the brain-like texture of a blonde morel. I wonder if these mushrooms are sentient with brains like this.

Here's a group photo pile. As the morels age they tend to turn different colors from almost white to more of a tanish brown.

Here's another shot of the half-free morel, you can see the grainy texture of the brittle stem comapred to the waxy texture of the cap.

This blonde morel looked the most like a brain. I almost stepped on this one when I was out hunting but at the last possible moment my subconscious warned me of looking down where I was stepping and there it was.

This is another half free morel cap. This seems like something the xenomorphs from the movie aliens would create as a hive inside a spaceship. The queen would lay her eggs inside here lol.

Another piled up group shot.

Now for a bit of jackolantern feel. This was the tannest of the blonde morels against the led backlighting. This kind of gives me an idea for a nightlight, maybe shape some plastic in this brain texture and put a little light inside and place them around the house for an interior forest theme lol.

Happy #fungifriday
