Looking for mushrooms when the season is almost over is not an easy thing. They will hide from you. They will blend with the leaves around. They will pop in places you would never think of finding one.
They are smart beasts that will play hide and seek with you. It is a battle and sometimes they win.
This one tried hard to hide behind the big piece of bark. And he almost made it. But my well_trained_mushroom_hunter_eye spotted him..
bam bam bam!
You have been shot!
I am guessing this is the same type, just a little older and drier.
Bonus shot:
Some large Cladonia Lichens cups I found at the same time.

I hope many of you will join as there are only 2 simple rules:
- when Friday comes post your own, original photo/drawing/art/food/anything-at-all of any type of fungi (yes, I will check and report stolen images!)
- add #FungiFriday tag (it doesn't have to be your first tag)
That's all :)
