Oh goodness that's beautiful!

A young crown-tipped coral mushroom grows in a dense cluster of tightly branched arms ending in tiny little crowns. It grows in a mossy log in a green late-spring forest. All photos by me

Here is a nice mushroom

Now, let's start creating some new art. This time, I'm going to draw a Shiba Inu dog that is feeling the heat.

A bouquet a golden oysters that could almost be made of butter. Yellow caps held high upward on flowing white gills bursting out of a moss speckled log under sunny forest skies. All photos by me

Homegrown cordyceps militaris. A fascinating #mushroom and easy to grow at home. Picture was taken years ago and I no longer grow them. I take a powder form daily as it's considered a medicinal mushroom.

I adore a mysterious creature

The cat looks so perplexed!

I love all the details on the wings! A perfect mix of shapes to me

Yum yum, wild oyster's in good condition.

I agree! The process is half the fun!

Surrounded by dry, stick-littered ground, with a bright green patch of blurry moss in the foreground, a large mushroom sits in the center of the photo. It has an unusually thick tan-yellow stipe that measures about 2 or more inches in diameter. A few inches from the ground, a very yellow skirt appears with uneven edges and vertical striations. Above the top of the skirt, a massive light brown cap rests on top of the mushroom. It's covered in almost uniformly placed warts, which are light brown and yellow.

Amanita augusta, the Yellow-veiled Amanita, is common in the woods around my home. I used to always wish I could see these, so I feel lucky to have them so close by nowadays. This one was particularly yellow! 🟡 🍄📷 📸🎞 🌿🌱 🟢 🍄‍🟫 🍄 📷

Cherry blossoms are in full bloom today. Let's climb to the top to find the highest branch with the best view! The white-eyes are cheering you on, too.

I love the shading on each blossom! Makes them feel alive! Perhaps the flowers are cheering us on too

Always my friend
You to beautiful work 🧡

And neither spoke a word, yet they understood each other implicitly, two large creatures, two close friends 🧡

I adore the stars on the underside of the tail! You may never reach the sky but you can carry it's beauty with you 🧡

The rains definitely make everything feel more fresh

Gorgeous! My eyes can't stay still looking it over again and again!

A new photo of a stick I posted about two weeks ago. Dozens of fuzzy topped splitgill mushrooms burst from the underside of a stick that’s I’ve picked up so we could see underneath. Cold spring sunlight illuminates their edges. All photos by me
