It was getting late and I was about to get into the car, but something (predators!) was calling me to go an check one more spot. A huge, old cork. There are always some old branches around it as they brake with the heavy winds. With rains and plenty of lush green grasses around, in theory it could be a good spot for some more mushrooms.
And yes... it was. I had to search a bit and more the greenery around to find one, large piece hidden in the shade. I picked up and moved it to a brighter spot.

A really big group in good condition. All surrounded by few types of lichens.
And just at the underside. Such pretty things! It is good to be able to move them around instead of having them stuck in one position.
I started to inspect them a little closer and tats is when I found this cool fella. He didn't move a bit. Not even blinked as I was trying get his best angle an was moving the branch a lot.
And then it hit me...
A Predator!
Just like twins :)

This is actually predator!! dammit a common bug called Woodlouse. And just like mushrooms it likes moist environments, so I guess it is pretty normal that I found them together.
Back to the shrooms though. Here you can see the whole group all together. I was quite satisfied with the find and I can imagine it was quite a view of me dragging it around to get to the right spot.
And no, I did not take it home with me :p

Bonus:
Something I drew a while ago and just fits here perfectly. I think I found more purple type back them, that's why the colours.
Opsie..
