A couple of days ago, while searching for some old photographs for another post, I came across a folder filled with mushrooms and trees photographed in 2006. In today's contribution for #FungiFriday by @ewkaw I'll show you that old unpublished stuff. Have a good viewing.
This is the Clathrus rubber, a very distinctive fungus that produces a fruiting body that looks like a scarlet basket. The fruiting body shown in this opening photograph is relatively old and will start to decay soon. Just like all mushrooms in this post ...

... it was photographed in the woods on the lower slopes of the mountain called Uchka, about ninety kilometers from where I live.
You can see another Clathrus rubber in this shot. This fruiting body is younger, and you can see the remains of the egg-like structure from which the vivid red basket comes out, at its base. This smelly fungus from the Phallaceae family uses flies for spore dispersion. The fragrance emanating from the fruiting body, while being unpleasant to my nose, is very attractive to various flies that come to feed on the sticky goo, produced by the fungus as a reward. The basket-like shape provides a relatively safe, sheltered feeding place for flies.
This is the Macrolepiota procera, commonly known as the parasol mushroom. This is one of my favorite free edibles from the woods. It's big, meaty, and it tastes really good. Especially when dipped in beaten egg and then fried in breadcrumbs.
Here you can see a very young Macrolepiota procera fruiting body. In the following photograph ...

... you can take a look at the autumnal foliage and the branches of the trees.
The lovely red fungus shown in this photograph is the Aleuria aurantia, commonly known as the orange peel fungus.
Here you can take a look at the same kind of fungus with a fallen leaf next to it. In the following photograph ...

... you can take another look at the scenery.
This is the Russula emetica. I used the flash in this photograph. In the following one ...
... you can see the same mushroom photographed in the natural light.

Late last night, while preparing the photograph for this post, I decided to take a break from reality and have a bit of artsy fun in Photoshop.
This is the Psathyrella candolleana, a relatively small, inconspicuous mushroom from the Psathyrellaceae. It's edible but I never tied it because, with quite a few similar-looking mushrooms around, I'm not confident enough to pick it.

So many neat species of mushrooms! After some good rain, we have some popping up in spots in our garden too.
Foraging for mushrooms is risky and I just make sure to hit the grocery store for mine to be safe. ;)

Beautiful red fungus 😍 I’ve never seen anything like this in the nearby woodlands.
It has been raining here lots this week and it’s a sunny day today, so I’m just about to go to the forest. Hopefully will find some mushrooms for #FungiFriday 😍
Wow, your photos are amazing! I love the variety of mushrooms you've captured, and the way you've framed each shot is really beautiful.
The Clathrus rubber is definitely one of the most interesting mushrooms I've ever seen. I love how it looks like a scarlet basket, and the way it uses flies to disperse its spores is really fascinating.
The red fungi looks rare. The orange one looks nice.
So many odd yet unique looking fungus😂😂😂😭
The orange peel is very rad ✨🔥 8
the shot of mushroom emetica Russula using flash looks so beautiful, you got several types of mushrooms and your hunting, must be fun
All photographs are so beautiful 😍 enjoyed it alot:-)
In a word, these mushrooms look amazing. But the somewhat reddish fungi seem to me to be pretty rare and I have never seen anything like this before. You did amazing photography.
Amazing finds of fungi. They even looked so rare.

Pretty good mushroom picture display. I love the look of the red mushroom color in the image above.

The hunt is quite far, ninety kilometers from the your place 📸👍
Judging from the photo in your post, it looks like Uchka is a beautiful place with a light fog and moist forest.
I'm also curious about the taste of the mushrooms, especially when mixed with eggs then fried in breadcrumbs. 🤩
The red mushroom was very beautiful and truly extraordinary.
Very beautiful clicks. But mushrooms are looking so weird. I didn't see this type of mushrooms before.
Woods like a jungle looks very pretty.
These are really beautiful flowers and shots
Even there's a whole new world of mushrooms we can really enjoy.
