#FungiFriday - A humble surprise.... not at all expected!

Good morning, FungiFriends!

Here is my contribution to #FungiFriday by @ewkaw :)

Two weekends ago, before I went on vacation to the north of the country, I thought that I could go for a walk in those parts and that I might find one of our photogenic fungi... But then I left the region near Lavra, which is very close to the coast, which doesn't allow for the proliferation of these admirable beings.

Well, yesterday, on my daily walk to the gym, I came across these two magnificent specimens. Well, I can't say they're any different, but I certainly wouldn't have thought I'd find them in this little corner of a semi-abandoned garden.

Sprouting from the stump of a tree that was felled last winter (because it was in poor condition and there was a risk of it falling), these two specimens of the Fungus kingdom were born!

I don't know if you have any idea what species they might be. I have to confess that even using Google lens, I have a lot of doubts, because I don't think it could correspond to any of the suggestions made.

You can see from the sequence of photos that you wouldn't expect such a find, as they are quite exposed... It's a wonder that any kid who has passed by hasn't had a bit of fun plucking or kicking these brave fungi. Ahahah

You can see that their dimensions are generous, with a wingspan of more than 10 centimeters.

Nacreous to brownish in color, with very prominent and well-separated gills, one of them already shows some signs of decomposition or damage caused by "ET" (a.k.a. dog or kid).

Although they're not as photogenic as others we see in this community, I confess that they don't leave anyone who has an esteem for them (like the one I've gained over the time I've been sharing my finds here).

I hope you enjoyed my humble sharing!

Who knows, maybe I'll get to see some more in the next few days, before next Friday!

^{In a street like so many streets... In a suburb like so many others...}

^{In a "tongue" of green next to the old stream, now transformed into a stream with a concrete slab...}

^{And in its corner far from the busiest road...}

^{On a tree stump cut down just over a semester ago...}

^{These two specimens stand out, with the splendor of one who has a unique voice and figure...
of all the living beings that surround them}

^{Its magnificence and detail are demonstrated when I got up close and tried with some difficulty to capture the most interesting details to share with you}

^{The lower part of the hat is always something that amazes me, no matter how many times I've seen it... And these are more important for capturing the moisture they need to survive in order to launch spores and mycelia}

^{A small insect helped me to establish the focus and emphasize its size}

^{The usual photo. When there's nothing better than your own hand as a ruler and scale...}

I hope you enjoyed my humble post here in your #FungiFriday community!

Thank you for taking the time to read my post
