autumn is fungi time

[turlough]

We've had quite a warm and dry start to the autumn here in souther Sweden so I haven't seen as much fungi as usual. Still, there are always some of them around and here are a few photos of them.

This is a small Orange Birch Bolete (Leccinum versipelle).

This a Fly Agaric (Amanita muscaria) just emerging from the ground.

This is one of the Ceps (Boletus edulis) I found in the lawn right outside my house. I was very suprised and happy because they're one of the most delicious edible fungi ever!

I can't decide if these are Panther Caps (Amanita pantherina) or Blushers (Amanita rubescens).

This is definitely a cluster of Common Inkcaps (Coprinopsis atramentaria).

And this is a couple of Snowy Waxcaps (Cuphophyllus virgineus).

Some of these are rather beautiful - would make nice artwork, I think. Possibly embroidered.

Yes, there is something quite decorative and graphical about many fungi. Simple shapes but with fascinating textures and colours.
