Mushrooms!
Warm and sunny weather, as well as higher humidity in the autumn air created fruitful grounds for numerous mushrooms (edible and poisonous) in Zagreb's parks and nearby woods:

very beautiful and something we never see in Arizona. Wonderful image and a reminder of the forest. I am glad you are enjoying the slot canyon and plant and other photos on my site. Thanks for your comments!
ReplyDeleteThe second shot is absolutely gorgeous! It rained a lot here on monday and tuesday and the first mushrooms have just showed up despite the very hot weather (30ยบ today). I will post them tomorrow. :-)
ReplyDeleteBy the way, when everything was ready to visit Croacia some years ago, my girl friend got sick and we had to cancel the journey... But your country still is on top of my european countries list! :-)
In Australian I would not think to eat a fungi like this growing on a fallen log. We see them a lot in the forests but they are usually orange. They are simply called fan fungi but I think botanically they are of the type polypores. They are usually tough to the touch until they die off and then they are powdery and squishy.
ReplyDeleteLovely photograph. I like fungi, mushrooms, moss, lichen ... all that old growy stuff ...
Looks like my yard! We've had hot, humid, wet weather, too...and mushrooms pop up all over. But what's fascinated me is there are so many different kinds!
ReplyDeleteThat second shot is so well composed and lighted. Very dramatic.
I don't see much mushrooms around here because it is a rather dry area. I'm not a big fan of them.
ReplyDeleteUh uh now! I thought you was off them! We finna send yo butt back to rehab.
ReplyDelete@Rondell - I don't think these are those kind of 'shrooms ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love finding mushrooms in the woods, but I can live without them...
