Once upon a time I was asked to cut the grass in the garden. Just a little bit under the bushes. No probs, I thought... until I saw the little guys hiding there from the sun.
Oh come on, how could I do that?
The mowing had to wait :)
These are Mica caps I believe and looks it is what @ablaze posted today too. A whole gang of them!
These were shot last fall. It is hell hot and dry here, and there is no way I am going to find any mushrooms anytime soon. But what do I have my mushroom stash for, right? :D
I heard that the mushroom season in Poland has already started though. Kinda early I think... I am used to going mushroom picking after the summer break. But since the temperatures there dropped and apparently it was pretty rainy, the little guys wasted no time and started to pop.
The image above is my favourite from the whole set. The very restricted focus made it nice and dreamy. I had to check how it would look in black and white...
Tadaaa :D
Not bad at all.
In a different part of the garden, some other mushrooms dried up like resins. It is more open area there. Even though there are tall trees around, a lot more sun hits the ground. They had no chance.
In the end the grass had to be cut and all the fungi with it. Such a tragic, short life...
Little bonus shot - he was resting in the shadow.
