Rotten stump and continuous rain and this is what you get!
A whole bunch of tiny mushrooms popping right from the center of it.
After few hours in the forest picking the edible and shooting th less edible ones, these were one of the cutest looking ones. And no, I don't have a clue what they are :)
This was mostly pine forest with some leafy trees here and there an I supposed this was a pine tree too. The enter of it was falling apart collecting needles, leaves and mosses. A nice a cozy home it seems.
Hold on...
Let me clean them up a bit. This time I remembered :p
There. Much better :)
A tiny little fairy world with the young seedlings surrounding them.
Few metres away, on a different equally decomposing stump I found another type. But just two of them, not a big group like the previous one.
It is so nice to see how they just pop from between the cracks. All together with young pine seedlings.
Less nice knowing that none of them will survive. The mushrooms will probably die in few days and th young pines during th upcoming winter.
