It was very difficult to find mushrooms during these weeks because recently there was still snow covering the forests and then there were hard frosts. But that doesn’t mean they are extinct because the mycelium is everywhere, especially in rotten trees. The snow didn’t last long, melted, and the slightly warmer weather favored some fungal species.
When it comes to red hat mushrooms, everyone thinks of the fly agaric, which, in addition to being beautiful and illustrated in storybooks, is dangerously toxic. Not to mention the white dots. These mushrooms are probably much less dangerous, they might just be edible or not, I don’t know that. I never pick up such tiny winter mushrooms, I prefer to photograph them.
This small group grew fresh from a rotten stump, creating a beautiful contrast with the fresh green moss. A few dry oak leaves are just an addition.
This is how they look from a frog perspective.
Sometimes I take the same photo multiple times. It may be interesting for change.
Do you remember to my post of December 5, when I showed this pink beauty?
After two weeks, it looks like this. The leaves are still in place! (It would be a great theme for a timelapse video!)

Tinder love (literally!)
Apparently not a single mushroom in the last picture, but more feathers! The scene of an act where a bird became dinner. Can you find the tiny mushroom?
