Autumn forests have this charm that I cannot resist. And it's not just the mushrooms that I love to pick and shoot, but everything else too. The fresh, humid air, the colours, the calmness - so much different than during the spring and summer when everything just burst with energy and seems to be in such a hurry. Autumn is calm... and quiet. I love it :)
And I don't always take my camera with me. but when I do, I come back with treasures like these.
We will start with the delicious boletus type mushrooms (that came with me with many others that I managed to find). A smooth, velvety hat and delicate sponge at the bottom. Most also have this intense mushroom smell - yes I tend to smell them after picking. Just cause :)

And for the rest, I am not sure if they wouldn't kill you. So I left them as I found them. The tiny mycena one is very common in the woods. Just a few cm tall, but there are thousands of them!
Lovely spotty amanita. Definitely not to be picked, but admired only.
I have no idea what those weirdos are :) They look like toasted marshmallows.
And a small orange with a proof of snail below. I suppose they are edible...
for some creatures anyway.
And now some forest shots. The decaying pieces of wood always look so dramatic.
