FungiFriday - Coexisting

mushroom orange stump 4.jpg

It is not a secret that I like shooting mushrooms. All kinds. But there are always some that I like more than others.

I found those very large orange ones growing on very old, almost falling apart tree stump. They found some gaps that would hold more moisture and some organic matter and boom! Lets grow :)
Those are one of those favorite ones. The fact that they grew so beautiful and big, bright orange colour and the contrast with dark, wet wood - perfect!

It was a nice big lawn with some overgrown grasses, few pines, some cork oaks and eucalyptus trees. I found all those mushrooms in a rather small area. Some prefer taller grass, some were hiding closer to the trees.

We should learn from them.
They are all different.
Sharing one place.
Coexisting in peace.

Those tiny brown ones were cute. Growing on a side of some soil pile.
So small I could hardly focus on them.

My contribution to #FungiFriday by @ewkaw

I hope many of you will join as there are only 2 simple rules:

  • when Friday comes post your own, original photo/drawing/art/food/anything-at-all of any type of fungi (yes, I will check and report stolen images!)
  • add #FungiFriday tag (it doesn't have to be your first tag)
    That's all :)

there are always some that I like more than others.

so, what are the criteria?
orange shrooms?
or tiny shrooms on a hair-thin stem that one really cannot focus on them? (I love both varieties, too.... and a lot of others!..)
or you simply can not tell but feel that in the certain moment when you see it?

For me the answer is 'shrooms that smile and photograph well! @qwerrie 🍄🍃🍄

Your most recent and truly incredible post featuring many smiling Fungi Friday mushrooms (read by clicking here) validates your theory perfectly! @qwerrie🍄🍃

I like the ones that photograph well :p
So cool shape/colour and growing in accessible place with good background :D
Of course some just always look good no matter where the grow. Like the very thin inkcaps.

Ooo those orange ones look like jackolantern mushrooms. They might actually glow very faintly in the dark with a long camera exposure.
