Yes, my first publication for the Fungi Lovers community is here. And this has its own story. Maybe not so interesting to the reader who doesn’t know where I live. But for me and for those who may follow me, they know that I have complained several times that there are no mushrooms here. Living on the seashore, with almost eternal sun all year round, mushrooms cannot find their place. In the forest we have on the hill above the town, I have never seen one. And I looked at a lot of times, my husband knows that every time I stop in our walk and look at the foot of the trees ... But the ground is rocky, dry. Everything is dry and dusty.
So on Fridays, I just watched wonderful posts about mushrooms created by @actifraenk, (I still remember the first post I looked, about mushrooms and one with googly-eyes... which we said looks like platypus), @ewkaw, @sketch.and.jam...
However, the story of my encounter with mushrooms changed on Wednesday, two days ago. We went to the mountains by the lake. My husband was fishing and I wanted to warm up and went to walk in the woods. To my great surprise, at the least expected moment
I saw it! A mushroom. Wow, I almost screamed with happiness and excitement. Oh, you dear mushroom, let's take a picture of you. And my excitement increased, even more, when I saw that there were others as well.
In this dry grass, under the needles of conifers, mushrooms were lined up. I came closer to some to take pictures of them from below, to try to identify them.
That searching and identification lasted for several hours today in front of the screen. The conclusion I came to was that it might be Boletus subtomentosus. It might be as well Xerocomus subtomentosus, although according to wikipedia
some experts say that it is just a synonym to boletus.
However, maybe I am completely wrong, and that is not that kind of mushroom. If anyone knows better, feel free to correct me.
I have seen really many specimens, mostly among the dry grass but some grew between the rocks and on a mossy base.
Later I came across other mushrooms, much smaller and of different shapes. They will remain unclassified for now, but I photographed them with the same excitement when I saw them.
Unfortunately, I only took my phone with me for a walk, not a better camera. They are all photographed with Xiaomi Redmi note 8.
Maybe I would have forgotten about this post of mine, if yesterday @amico.sports did not remind me that tomorrow (today) is Friday! So thanks him this is now here, as an entry for @ewkaw's #fungifriday.
