October of this year was a good month for mushrooms here where I live. In this contribution to FungiFriday by @ewkaw, you'll see a couple of species I found around Medulin, my hometown, on the way to the supermarket and back.

Not all mushrooms were found on the same day. The encounters happened on three different occasions in October. Have a good viewing.
The 3rd of October was a warm and sunny day. It felt like summer, but the presence of fungi was a clear sign that autumn has arrived. Here you can see a very picturesque group of mushrooms ...

... that grew in a cave-like place ...

... inside the trunk of an old tree situated in one of the gardens in the old town, not far from the main square and my neighborhood. Can't tell you what kind of tree this is...
(Enlargeable)
... and when it comes to the mushrooms, my ignorance is practically the same. They look a bit like the Armillaria mellea but then, they don't look exactly like that species. They also look a bit like the Cyclocybe aegerita but then again, I see some differences as well.

This photograph was taken a bit further down the road that leads to the supermarkets on the outskirts of Medulin.
After some more walking, always downhill, I came across another interesting tree ...
... with another interesting cavity in its trunk. This time, I haven't found any mushrooms there.
Just this lovely succulent plant.
After taking this photograph, I put the camera back into the bag and continued straight to the supermarket.

Ten days later, early in the morning, I visited the same supermarket, and I spent some time in the small park between the parking lot and the road ...
... because I noticed a group of Coprinus comatus mushrooms.
The morning traffic was passing me by ...
... while I was photographing these cool, edible mushrooms.

A bit later, inside the store, while walking between the shelves filled with colorful stuff ...
(Enlargeable)
... I found more mushrooms.
These packaged fungi weren't visually interesting but I photographed them anyway because I thought back then, on the 13th of October, that these supermarket mushrooms could add a bit of unexpectedness to my usual fungi-themed posts. Today, I can tell you that I couldn't agree more with the thought process of that me from two months ago.

On the 26th of October ...
(Enlargeable)
... in the neighborhood called Munida, about a kilometer from where I live and only two hundred meters from the supermarkets on the edge of town ...
(Enlargeable)
... I was surprised and amazed by the sudden appearance of many mushrooms on the narrow lawns by the side of the road.
(Enlargeable)
Although the mushrooms were numerous, when it comes to diversity, I found only two species on that occasion.
These small white ones that I wasn't able to identify ...
(Enlargeable)
... and the considerably bigger Suillus collinitus boletes.
(Enlargeable)
I found a couple of species that look more or less like these white mushrooms shown here, but I'm far from being sure if any of those species is shown in my photographs.
(Enlargeable)
These could be the Hygrophorus eburneus. Or the Clitopilus prunulus. Or the Clitocybe candicans. Or something else.
(Enlargeable)
I don't know what else to say here ...
(Enlargeable)
... but I have a few more photographs to show, so ...
... I'll try to come up with something.
Here, ad example, you can see the sponge-like structure under the Suillus collinitus cap.
In this photograph, the focus is on one of those unidentified pale mushrooms at its early stage.

Some great shots. My highlight is the ones growing inside the tree. Where abouts in Croatia do you live? I've been to Dubrovnik twice, as my brother is married to Dubrovnik woman. You have a beautiful country and people.
Hi. 🙂 I live near Pula, in the northern Adriatic.

So many mushrooms! Even in supermarkets!
😀
Beautiful mushroom finds… the ones in the tree are cute. 😁😎
The one in the supermarket funny hehehe 🤭
Thanks for sharing @borjan
Have a great weekend!
Thanks. 🙂 A great weekend to you too.
You are welcome @borjan thanks a lot!
Hi there, @borjan. 😃 These mushrooms are good looking and all I can think about is how they will find their way into my cooking pot! 😅 I see they grow more around October due to your weather. It can be difficult to separate the good ones from the poisonous. Are passersby allowed to pluck the edible ones?
Lovely snapshots as always. Thanks for sharing and have a great day. 😊😊
Thanks 🙂 Glad you like the post. Yes, picking them is allowed. I pick them sometimes in areas where there isn't much traffic because all mushrooms, including the healthy and edible ones, are great at collecting and accumulating harmful chemicals from the air, soil, and water.
The mushrooms in the tree trunk are really cool. They almost look intentionally planted. It's like a mini world in there.
Yes. 😀the whole arrangement in the tree - cave looks like a sophisticated garden decoration.
Much like yourself I love photographing mushrooms and fungi, little knowledge off the top of the head knowing what I's looking at.
Lovely finds throughout the month having pine needles appears to be a popular place for growth I have noticed.
In tree cavity most unusual with tree still standing, made for a unique photo session.
!LUV and thanks for sharing.
@borjan, @joanstewart(2/10) sent you LUV.

Thanks. 🙂Glad you like the post. Have a great day.
Would love to see an abundance of mushrooms again, for some reason not seen too many this year.
Here the last year was very bad for mushrooms. This autumn was ok. yes, it's great to see many different, often colorful species.
I find the small mushrooms come up around where termites move perhaps it is the grass they take under the earth, not many of late either.
Wow! It seems you live in the mushrooms land 😁 I have never seen so huge mushrooms! I thought it is a decoration :))
some of the mushrooms there do look the same as the ones in my area, but the brown mushrooms growing in the grass I have never seen them, they grow in abundance there and are very fertile, and you got so many mushrooms for Friday this time
Artists mind works in a mysterious ways. I also take pictures or keep around rubbish that make no sense to anyone but me and use them later in a surprising ways.
You live in a beautiful area. I love those pink bougainvilleas in the gardens 😍
Those natural caves with surprises inside them are absolutely gorgeous. Amazing finds my friend! Those edible ones look like parasol mushrooms 😁💙
Hehehehee true. A creative look at the world can reveal amazing stuff in the garbage and also see many officially valuable things for what they really are - pretty boring and often completely unnecessary.
Hello dear friend @borjan good day
Without a doubt, the month of October was very good for the discovery of fungus, you have found beautiful varieties, I love the first ones that grew inside the tree
Beautiful photos, thank you very much for sharing with us.
happy start to the weekend
Thank you. 🙂 Have a great weekend.
Does the succulents were deliberately planted inside the tree trunk? That is so awesome.
The mushroom peeking out from the tree trunk was also nice, like a platoon of soldiers watching the enemy from the fort.
I'm not sure about the succulent. It is definitively the first time I have seen that kind of succulent in the trunk of a living tree. I think that was probably planted there purposely. But I'm not sure.
Sounds like such a Lovely Place to find mushrooms... Just !LUV ED those Clicks! ..wish you a Great weekend ahead mate.
Beautiful of a fungi sir.
wow what a wonderful photos😍😍😍
just one word, very cool
To add to that, nice shots 📸
😁😁😁 totally agree buddy.
A wide variety of cool mushroom discoveries, I like to see them
Great pictures of mushrooms bro .
Beautiful mushrooms... the ones in the tree are very nice.
The one in the supermarket is funny
Thanks for sharing @borjan
Have a nice time blessings
What's the nutritional value of this mushroom 🤔
I don't know the exact value. Maybe is written on the package. 😀 But it tastes good, that's for sure.
Hahaha
Ok
Have you gotten yourself one?
Please what are the mushrooms doing in the store?
I thought they're poisonous in your locality.
Some species are poisonous. Some species are edible. These supermarket mushrooms are cultivated in mushroom farms.
Alright 👍
Thank you very much
