    Beautiful photo, Eliza. One piece of autumn I always look forward to is seeing the mushrooms come out.

    How cool! Great find, Eliza. 🙂

    You’ve mentioned rain, and the tree bark looks wet. Is the shininess a result of rain, or are these one of the species of fungus that are naturally ‘drippy’?

  7. Lovely colors as captured

  8. Mushrooms are always interesting in color, shape, and location.

  9. Magnificent mushroom medley!

    Shelves for elves. Nice that there’s a view of the gills, too. It’s amazing that fungi just grow anywhere…out of nowhere.

    Very appealing … not for eating though 😊

  12. Love the view of the undersides, that’s some attractive natural architecture.

    Very nice shot of these mushrooms. One question: do they eventually kill the tree?

      Thanks, Hien. It is an elm and it is already dead. I’ve noticed them on other elms, also dead. They may be parasitic, but in this case, Dutch elm disease was the Grim Reaper.

    Very cool. A natural tree fire escape??

  15. Sweet…a mushroom ladder!

    I really must get out to look for our grassland fungi before the frosts kick in properly. This is a lovely shot. Quite like our sulphur tufts but the black stem is different, and adds a nice bit of contrast.

  18. What a beautiful fall photo, Eliza!

    Love the detail you’ve captured of the mushrooms gills

  20. Very nice, Eliza! One of my favourite subjects.

  21. Presumably not edible?

  22. Wonderful find and capture!🙂

  23. Wow! Those will make an excellent ladder for any fairies you have in the area. 😉

  24. These are probably edible, Late Fall Oysters ( Panellus serotinus) I believe, but usually the caps are somewhat bluish so I am not totally sure. Like you I don’t take chances plus I don’t forage as I prefer to leave nature as I find it. Nice choice of view, Eliza.

  25. Awesome man did I fall behind on blogs sorry.
