As promised, here are a few more mushroom pictures from before the fire.
I always love the fall fungus walks, because the woods smell like mushrooms and earth - and there's magic in the air.
Newly blooming mushrooms peek out from the ground to tease the eye.
Bigger, bolder specimens add more color and texture to the forest floor and I can imagine wee folk sheltering from the rain under their spreading caps.
Lacy fungus adorn tree trunks like Elizabethan ruff collars.
And there are occasional growths of stadium seating for tiny fair folk to sit and watch the moonlight dancing!
Flights of fancy often overtake me when I let myself imagine what might go on just beyond our ability to sense it. :)

More mushrooms, I love it ! I can't wait for the snow to go away and the weather to warm up so I can get out and look for fungi !
I'm going to take a shot at identification:
the first: some kind of Pholiota;
the second: can't tell but maybe "mushroom of promise";
the third: Painted Bolete, Suillus spraguei;
the fourth: probably a Honey Mushroom of some kind, look at those collars;
the fifth: they look too thick to be gilled, but they do look interesting, if they were thinner and gilled, maybe little Angel Wings.
Thanks for the fun fungi opportunity!
Hugs to ya from BetsyLee
