The first one is really dark. Maybe a little bit too dark?
The second one is excellent

I try to expose for the color. It often does look too dark for many people. Some how I prefer to get blacks than to get whites.

Very nice. I prefer the first one for the composition.

Nemorino · Sep 16, 2023

So do I. The second is a little to centered.

What is the top mushroom called?
I really enjoy the bottom of the second mushroom because it seams to be reflecting some of the green from the plants.

I am no expert on mushrooms but it is some kind of puffball, but don't ask me which on exactly.

Scleroderma sp.
I don't know what is that tiny black bug on top of it

. Concerning the yellow-green tint on the stem of the second - at certain age the pores (no "gills" there) of this one are getting yellow-green too...

First "real" hiking for ~3 weeks. Overcast and drizzling. Birds all over the tops of the (very tall) trees - no chance for anything good.
But I found this: Some 2-3 years ago I posted a photo of a mushroom from the same tree-trunk - it was in bad conditions and I call it Pulveroboletus xylophylus.
What I found there today is not that species (and I presume it is the same that I found few years ago?): P. xylophylus has not reticulated stem! There are other differences to list but I don't think they are interesting for the public on this forum. I have a real P. xylophylus taken years ago here (film era

) and they are different!!! Anyway - kind of headache in the coming days with very little chance of success to properly ID this one by photo

I was thinking about noting that someone is on top of it. But I thought, "Let's see who's seeing it first!".
You won. I've also no idea what it could be. Here's a 1:1 close-up:
