On the edge of a nice, rotten stump among lush and moisty moss.
Pure joy!
If you are a mushroom :)
But if you ar a clumsy human you have to be carful not to trip on one of those an break your teeth on another stump.
These woos are relatively young and as trees grow and take up more and more space, some are cut down to make room. When they are planted (trees, not mushrooms) there gaps between the seedlings are not very big (and if you are Polish you probably did plant some in primary school to help gather funds for school trips; do kids still do it, or is considered child slavery now :D). As they grow a lot of them die and when they are finally much older and bigger, some have to be cut down (trees, not kids).
So in younger woods there is usually plenty of the stumps rotting around. Covered in pine needles or leaves turn to teeth or toes breakers :p
Anyway... the few stumps I found were well visible and covered in lovely, soft moss. The warm fall made plenty of mushrooms pop on them as the conditions were just perfect.
And then some decided to grow right on top and surround themselves by some rotten friends (some peeps would enjoy that too actually 😂)
And now I will confess to a terrible thing.
I did not poke any of them!
I keep asking people f they touch or poke the fungi they find and I forgot (most of the times I forget) to do that myself.
And they look so lovely and slimy here after the rainy...
Dammit!
The last ones got a little drier spot, though I am sure with a bit more rain the moss would quickly catch up.
