It's so nice to see how well this clump beside our woodland path survived the winter. I wonder, do these just stay like this? Forever? If you look closely you can see the beautiful blues and cream and brown colours and the great textures. Happy Friday! #EllieKPosts #FungiFriday #Mushrooms #Fungi #Moss

Honey Mushrooms (2023) Maybe a slightly uncomfortable image, but I see these #Mushrooms everywhere in our local #Forests and so I really wanted to try capturing the way they stack in these closely packed bunches. Due to the recent rains this bunch didn't have the usual dirt and leaf debris leaving them relatively pristine. The added moisture from the recent rainfall also gave them a special moistness. #photography #throwbackthursday #macrophotography #RealPhotosofRealPlaces
