visiting local swamp, part 1 - Red Russula

Hola, setero! Happy #FungiFriday to you. Today my Friday post is devoted to such a plain mushrooms as Russula. They dont vary too much their outlook, have no weird shapes, each one look like others (well, more or less). But let me remind you how beautiful they may look like.

They were hiding in a long grass.

The top of the iceberg... and the iceberg itself.

I was not the only one to have an intrest in mushrooms; lizard had an eye on them, too. Strangely, but I noticed a lack of fauna: no frogs, no insects, no dragonflies or butterflies (I noticed only one or tho moths all the way). Spooky!

Families. They are family mushrooms.

When you found one, dont rush away in a hurry, make some circles around the spot, and you may found other relatives.

This one here is for your post-processing pleasure: below is the edited from .raw version, above is the jpg-sourced camera version.

Perhaps this particular mushroom is a lady,-- look how elegantly she wears her hat!

But enough of Russula; there are a lot more pictures (I have shoot every mushroom I found, hehe), most of them look the same, tho each mushroom of course, is unique. I also met some other mushrooms at the swamp, but in a small quantaties.

This is the most typical UFO (unidentified Fungi Object). Very tiny, thin and fragile. Good for macro! Growing in the moss, they develop such a very long stem.

These are unedibles, of course. Even if they are not toxic, the texture is so thin and delicate, the size is tiny... no reason to pick them up.
