A funky looking Russula! Somewhere along the line this russula took a strange turn in its growth pattern.

I thought it was pretty neat!

Blackberries/brambles can be considered semi-carnivorous or protocarnivorous. Animals with fur wander in and because of the orientation or the thorns, the animals are sometimes unable to get out. They die, decompose, and with the help of symbiotic relationships with bacteria or insects, fertilize the soil for the plant.

They're able to trap and kill the prey but lack the ability to derive and digest nutrients from their prey by themselves.

Lindsay, my dog, was lucky this time and escaped with just this incredibly sharp segment caught in her fur. I believe it's our native Trailing blackberry, Rubus ursinus, but I'm not 100% sure.

Paired with some Cladonia from my back yard!

I just love all these Waxcaps.

🍬🍭 Aphroditeola olida has the most amazing smell! Imagine my surprise when I picked this mushroom and my partner said - 'I bet it smells like bubble gum' - and it did! 🍭🍬

This one smelled delightful all the way up until I sealed it in.

I'll never tire of finding purples and blues in the forest.

This Cortinarius being a stunner on the underside is very pale purple, almost white, on top. You would never know it had such vibrancy on the underside unless you picked it.

Mushrooms are amazing because, unlike a lot of plants, it's OK to disturb mushrooms and you won't harm them-and it's the very best way to learn! Pick em up! Flip em over! Smell then! Nibble and spit! Cut them in half! Pull them apart! Fruiting bodies are meant to be interactive.

Starting to feel like the were approaching the end of mushroom season. This tattered Amanita pachycolea capturing the mood.

Still found decent hedgehogs today and even a couple golden chanterelles!
