In Balkans, including Croatia, we still have many preserved forest areas & long tradition of mushroom hunting. Last few days I was intensively picking mostly porcini & chantarelles but I took my camera cause Nikon Z6 is very light & easy to carry but macro lens is not. Still I wanted to shoot the various fungi fruiting bodies in this perfect time for mushrooms, the autumn. I converted the photos into the black'n'white version cause I consider it amusing to experiment.
This mushroom is so beautiful in both version, colored or b'n'w, & I was thinking about it in advance. There are so many details & contrast.

Same with the parasol. She's looking so attractive!
Color version: @careassaktart/macrolepiota-procera
Fly agaric is just a baby yet. I didn't encounter any older specimen but I still hope to see some, shoot & pick them till the end of season!

Another beautiful mushroom, a decoration on the fallen rotting trees. Very colorful which gives a wide range of grey & make the b'n'w version spectacular too!

For more details, check out the links with colored version. There I made some longer descriptions. Some of these mushrooms are medicinal, some edible & some have only beautiful look. Anyway, I believe that also in your area you have fungi species who can improve your life! Study & learn about them & how you can get benefit from these creatures!
@monochromes for keeping up this great photo challenge! You can choose any of the photos from this post as an entry to the contest.The upper shots I made with Nikon Z6 & Sigma 105 mm DG Macro HSM. For the self-portrait below I used the older Nikon D800 & Nikon AF Nikkor 35-70 mm lens.
