art and mushrooms

Had a little bit of cranky start this morning. I forced my self up at around 6 am and did my quick painting session. Which resulted in this one below.

Then i went to do some treasuring but after few tasks i notice it was not the best day for that. So i went back home and packed some items and escaped to the woods. I was hoping to find a couple of mushrooms to eat and i did.

Like this

Got a couple of good ones. Few snail holes here and there i don't mind.

But i also found this:

I thought someone had dumped their pasta in the forest....

Here it is next to my backbag. I did spend a good few minutes trying to google what the thing was.Incredible time.
Turns out is a pretty rare mushroom here, translated crease mushroom , Sparassis crispa aka cauliflower fungus.
Do you have another name for it?

That was a great find and i was really happy about it. I picked about 1/3rd of it as it wasn't recommended to pick for its rarity here. I would like to see more of them in the future.
I did fry some at home with some of my fermented onions and it was pretty damn delicious. I have been on low-carb diet since start of this year and i just had to appreciate how much it reminded me of real pasta.
