Fungi pop up out of the ground normally after rains have fallen, these two species I have not been able to identify fully, both too small to even think about the pan for cooking, pretty to look at so here are some photo's to try find out what they are.
If this is the False Parasol they are poisonous, but as mentioned too small to pick nice to photograph, very low to the ground not able to peek under the hood.
Fascinating organisms in a variety of colours, breathing life back into the earth, additional soft beauty to ones imagination as to what fungi represents, not always about food.
If I found the right name on this one it would be the Hycrocybe miniata, tiny little forest dweller you would hardly notice in the pine needles, the colour is what caught the eye.
Fungal habitats include soil, water, and organisms that may harbor large numbers of understudied fungi, estimated to outnumber plants by at least 6 to 1. More recent estimates based on high-throughput sequencing methods suggest that as many as 5.1 million fungal species exist. Source
Loving nature; perhaps one day we will know some answers, what each thing is created for, everything has a purpose!
Going on walks noticing the small things that change our life, rule our lives in assisting us to live here is enormous, picking for the sake of picking, having something or doing damage because we can, this does not help our ecosystem in keeping up the good work it performs every day.
