From a side garden this morning - a real bloom. All gone in the sun an hour or so later:

And a miniature from a local walk:

Nice pictures, Jethro. I especially like the second one.

I like this one better - in the first one I was missing the main (?) object (if the Coprinus sp. was the main object). If the very attractive "bubbles" are the main object than I may prefer the first one.
This one could be in the range of tolerable* mid !
* = point of view/taste (pretty personal)

These are from today - I went on that trail because it's my favorite for small endemic birds on Oahu (easy trail at least when dry!). Didn't see any of the target birds in reasonable distance (didn't see Elepaio at all - neither detected a call!). Also, I didn't venture long on the trail - very muddy after the rains and there is a risk to slide on some narrow sections where you can get in a trouble (real one!!!). First are Amanita ananiceps (always present after rains in that area), after that Tremella fuciformis (kind of weathered), Aseroe rubra (also weathered) and for the last one I have no idea...
BTW I forgot to say that I'm writhing really fast to finish before Click did answer ! Not because I'm complaining - it's more like a competition

"Nice Stinkhorn! Are you in Australia?"
I'm in Hawaii - with the introduction of some Australian trees (Eucalyptus, Paperback e.t.c.) we got here also some Australian fungi.

Do you know the name of those?

Nice shots!

Nice shots!

Sorry I was offline for a couple of days ...

iNaturalist reckons the blue/purple one is Ramariopsis pulchella (Lilac coral fungus), which is a favourite of mine - I only see it in one particular spot for a short period (if at all) each year. The other coral is probably Ramaria capitata.

I'll post a few more when I get around to cleaning them up a little - I end up in high ISO for most of the shots.

No problem Jethro. Thank you for this information. I look forward to seeing your next pictures.

Here in Franconia we had a quite cold and wet springtime.
Excellent for the plants, the forests and groundwater.
Not that it has turned warmer, it is funny to see fresh mushrooms side by side with dandelions.

We got much better in Western Europe: the "Phallus Impudicus" mushroom. Quite common in our forests, it smells like rotten eggs.
PS: according to your pictures, Hawaii seems to be a botanical paradise (and without venomous snakes!).
PPS: keep on dreaming, you'll never beat Click, he answers before you post!

Mushroom time.
A cauliflower fungus (sparassis crispa). Bon appetite!

This fungus looks like coral.

Is it just me or is that second mushroom smiling at me?
