The terribly hot week in Portugal is resulting in nearby fires. There haven't been many of them this year yet. At least comparing to previous years, but they always occur in summer. In the fall, when you drive through the countryside, you get to see black burned patches and skeletons of trees sticking out from ashes. Quite a depressing view...
I look at the window now, and I see heavy, grey smoke in the sky...
Summer sucks.
Sucks big time!
What does it have to do with #Fungifriday and today's post?
Abso-fucking-lutely nothing.
But I look at the photos of a humid, cool forest, and it almost seems unreal. It was last year in Poland that I took those photos. As most of the mushrooms I post anyway. Multiple trips to the woods to cool and reset the brain in silence always fill my camera memory card. It is nice to go back to them, especially when outside is hell.
The light peaking through the trees at this time of the year is nice. Much softer and lower angle gives these nice, long shadows too.

Few more mushrooms I found close to the path.
And of course Lichens. There is never enough of lichens! And they are absolutely everywhere :)
I absolutely love how they take over the moist, rotten wood, creating these tiny little worlds of their own.
Enough of that... time to keep on walking.
