This fall I have probably seen every possible colour on the mushrooms. From white, though shades of yellow, red, pink, purple, green, brown... no black ones unless dead rotten ink caps count :)
Here are some red ones I found in one forest, but in different parts of it.
The first orange one was in a more sunny spot, surrounded by multiple bushes. I have no idea what it is, but I could see it from afar. Shiny, bright hat with a spot of sun on it. I could not miss it!
With a little neighbour.
A different one that was growing not far from the orange one. This one is obviously a delicious one. I saw many of this type, and most were munched to some degree.
And in a different, less leafy parts of the woods I found these guys.
The ground is covered in pines and pinecones there and they seem to like it a lot. No wet leaves stuck on their pretty hats.
Are these Russula?
Bonus shot: the colours of the leaves are just so stunning that I could not resist taking dozens of photos. I don't know the name of the bush, but it is very common around the forest. The leaves change from light green to yellow, red, and darker pinkish shades. Most with some damage and holes bitten out by hungry buggers. This is just one of them.
I just love it!
