Some animals take on the color of their surroundings to camouflage. It's safer that way.
But it looks like some mushrooms do that too. Intentionally or not, they are so hard to spot that if I didn't stop and look at the tree above them, I would not notice there were so many.
And they were not even that small. If the fallen leaves had any other colour, or there were no leaves at all, I would be able to see them from a distance.
Can you see how many of them there are? It took me a while to realize that it was a large group of probably over 15 mushrooms. And I still think there might have been many more hiding under the leaves. I did not check that, as I did not want to disturb them.

The boss? :)
As I look at the photos now, I start to like all the fall colours more than the mushrooms. So pretty!
Two bonus shots. The colours of that last fall were amazing. The sunny day and all the dry leaves on the ground were like a dram. A few little plants were still trying to grow and enjoy the warmth before winter showes up.
