Mushrooms and fungus

 It's the season for it! A bit cooler, and lots of moisture overnight. September brings them to life. Funnily enough, just like the leaves, there isn't much diversity of colour.

I found some puffballs in the forest!

🍄 It's mushroom and fungus season!

I like the changing seasons. One of the signs I like to see are the mushrooms, fungus and toadstools. I asked Cinnamon if he wanted Walkies. He did! He knows the word, you see, and gets ready to go.

He did stop to 'powder his nose!'

Next, up a tree. Everything is still green and leafy. For now!

I can see where the pileated woodpecker has been busy.

He wasn't much help finding any, but that is OK. I love the variety. I don't understand why some are brightly coloured, others white, yet others a beige. 

The blue ones were a surprise. I think. Or maybe I should check out last year's crop. I am getting old and forgetful! 😏 (UPDATE: YAM tells me it is: Blue Roundhead, one of the Agaricus group.)

Many colours, shapes, and sizes.

🧚 It's as if fairies sprinkled them along the ground.
