a few more belated #WorldFungusDay finds from recent woodland walks - not sure about the mustard or beige groups but I recognise the freshly erupted earthballs 🟤 I find #fungi forms pleasing...

three photographs by Remy Dean: clump of mustard yellow mushrooms; a group of four or fine pale beige 'frilly-looking' mushrooms; and earthballs among grass.
