The autumn rain brings mushroom fruits
And what an impressive fruit this is!I usually keep my casual #smartphonephotography shrooms over on my @actifraenk account where they help to spice up my daily actifit spam, but every once in a while there's a particularly impressive specimen that needs some more spotlight to shine.
And for that: "Here's my contribution to #FungiFriday by @ewkaw"
I've tried to get an ID on this impressive little chunky boi, but I didn't come back with anything remotely close. It's a red mystery mushroom.
I definitely would not recommend tasting it. The colour looks delicious like strawberry candy but it's probably better interpreted as a big fat stop sign.
It's not the most common mushroom for sure. I haven't ever seen one like this before. There's some that grow in vaguely similar shapes but much more muted colours.
If you can offer any help in getting an ID on this species, it's much appreciated. With it's distinct colour and peculiar shape I thought this would be an easy one, but my usual sources came up empty.
It's situated under a huge old oak tree. That could help with finding a match.

@actifraenk takes walks every day and mushroom season is full on right now. Here's a couple of additional shots from yesterday and today:

Thank you for viewing my @snaepshots!
The red one is awesome! :D
krkrkr... I think the green really helped here ;)
hmm good to see this means i can head to forrest again for mushroom pictures soon
yeap... prime-time!
The red mystery mushroom is very pretty, as you say like a strawberry candy.😊 maybe the mushroom is poisonous which cannot be eaten.
I definitely wouldn't try ;)
Really cool but I don't know what it is! Often the case with fungi :)
yeah, true, I would have thought with obvious characteristics like this one it should be fairly easy to identify... but it seem to be a rather rare species...
I'll go back there in a few days to see how it develops, maybe that helps.

The big red one is a lobster mushroom, basically its probably a russula or some other mushroom underneath all the red parasitic fungi that has infected that mushroom. The latin name is Hypomyces lactifluorum and it is great edible mushroom, it will deform the mushroom underneath it and make it edible, usually it parisitises russula or chanterelles. It should have a sort of seafood smell to it hence the name lobster as well as the color kind of resembling lobsters too.
