Photo from last week when I spotted these tiny perfect mushrooms growing out of a leaf.

You just can't not notice the Cinnabar Polypore (Trametes cinnabarina).

Close-up photo of a mushroom between the grass. The mushroom has a large, round cap with a textured surface. The cap has a dark center and light outer edges.

And yet the sun rises.

The Mycena family of mushrooms are one of my favourites. They're prolific and common, and mostly vary only in colour, but they're consistently cute, and they have a charming love of mossy surfaces.

A view from below of a small mushroom growing from moss. The light shines above and through the mushroom cap, while the base of the mushroom is in shade.

With the poison ivy leaves out of the way, I was able to get back to the Varnish Shelf mushrooms to log a final photo of this year’s life cycle.

This photo was taken 5 ½ months after the initial photo in this series. It shows the trunk of a hemlock tree with 6 plate like mushrooms growing out of the bark, some at eye level, some knee and ankle level. They are dark maroon and tan, cracked and slightly droopy, their attachment points weakened on the tree. At the base of the tree are autumn leaves and bright green moss.
Same tree and mushrooms from the first photo but now it is 9 days later and the mushrooms have flattened and doubled in size. Less blubby and more plate like. The previous golden yellow has darkened to caramel brown and the white edges have yellowed. The bottoms are still white.
Seven large, flat shelf mushrooms growing out of a standing, dead hemlock. The largest is bigger than my outstretched hand. The tops of the mushrooms and where they attach to the tree are amber brown and they lighten as they get closer to the edge with yellow being the final color. At the base of the tree is a bright green carpet of moss. In the background are green shrubs, ground cover and larger trees.
Closeup of the bottom 5 feet of a hemlock tree with 7 round to blubby polypore mushrooms fruiting out from the bark. The young, tender mushrooms are golden yellow on top and white on the edges and bottom. The tree is in the forest with moss as its base and other trees in the background. The bark of the tree is darkened with rain.

I call this piece "Hang on, is it Monday tomorrow?"

A photo of two mushrooms in a mossy lawn. The one in the foreground is in focus and has a sweet smile drawn on and arms resting neatly on its front. The other is almost directly behind, very similar in size and colour but out of focus. Its arms are stretched out and has a toothy open mouth. It's not terrifically scary, but certainly isn't looking sweet like the front one.

A dapper Common Earthball. Or as it likes to be called around Halloween, a Pigskin Poison Puffball [Scleroderma citrinum]

Much more intimidating. 😄

A rotting tree stump is in the woods, the ground covered with green winding plants and fallen leaves. Growing out of a panel of sheared off bark is a yellowish tan oval mushroom. It is about two inches high and is covered in brown wartlike attachments to its outer skin.

Me: Ooh, it's Hallowe'en. I should make some scary fungi.
Also me: Oh. OK. Maybe scary isn't really my thing.

Side note, this is a composite image, and they are the same mushroom just a few days apart, so although they ended up looking a little silly, if you fancy a bit of existential angst about the impact of the passage of time I am TOTALLY here for you.

An edited photo of two wild mushrooms on a grassy slope against a blurred mossy stone wall. They both have hollows edited on with eyes drawn in, and the one on the left has a row of mushroomy teeth hanging down from a light brown cap. The one on the right has turned up on itself so the frills are visible, and has turned redder. It had a pock mark on the stem which looks like a slightly surprised mouth. Overall impression is probably goofy rather than scary, although I even tuned the colours to be more sombre.
