Autumn fungi: one rarer and one more common

[spiralsheep]

Common: Parasol, probably Macrolepiota procera (marvellously toadstoolly cap)









Rarer: Honey Waxcap, Hygrocybe reidii (wonderful colour and pretty gills)

Ohhh, these are so cool! Would you mind if I used one to make a sketch?

Parasols are one of my favourites and how wonderful to see them captured in time!

I photograph tons of fungi, I adore it, but sadly never know the name of any of it - except the parasol, it grows in huge numbers in my sisters garden and I'm always impressed by the sheer size and how it can come and go in a couple of days.

I love that last photo, thanks for naming it, such a pretty thing, really love the way your photo has captured all it's beautiful form.

Awesome pics! I particularly love the fourth one.
We had some astonishingly large groups of mushrooms on our meadow last autumn, and later realised that they grew on places which had been used as cat loos... *g* Unfortunately I didn't manage to take a picture before they were destroyed in a hailstrom.
