Centered in the frame, a small parrot mushroom, standing about one inch tall from the ground to the top of its cap, shines in diffused light; its stipe is yellow and its cap is emerald or forest green, and the cap is slightly deformed with a crease near the front, giving it a unique look. 📷 Canon R5 Canon RF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM M, f/4, 1/5, ISO 400 Stack of 24 images 11/21/24 Olympia area, Washington

Look at that stunning color! Hygrocybe singeri is such a beautiful mushroom. Against the dark surroundings, it really sticks out

A lone waxy cap stands above blurred black and blue duff. Its magnificent colors stand out among its dull surroundings. Its fibrous yellow and orange stipe stands almost two inches tall. Its cone-shaped cap is shiny and light orange in the front and deep orange on the sides and top. 📷 Canon R5 Canon RF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM M, f/4, 1/4, ISO 400 Stack of 17 images 11/21/24 Northern Oregon Coast

A small, one-and-a-half-inch-tall mushroom is centered in the photo. Its stipe is yellow, smooth, and shiny. A ring of light appears just below the cap on the front left of the stipe, which is a reflection of the bright edges of the cap above it. The cap is light green around the edges and dark green at the top. It is extremely reflective due to the layer of slime covering it. 📷 Canon R5 Canon RF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM M, f/4, 1/5, ISO 400 Stack of 23 images 11/21/24 Olympia area, Washington

Growing among vibrant, deep green moss and dark brown cedar duff, a light green parrot mushroom shows off its shiny surface. Its soft green cap is broad and dome-shaped, and its edges are lighter than the top. The yellow-green stipe is straight until the base, where it takes on a slight curve to the right and disappears behind heavily blurred moss in the foreground. A mottled texture is seen throughout the stipe. 📷 Canon R5 Canon RF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM M, f/4, 1/5, ISO 400 Stack of 17 images 11/21/24 Olympia area, Washington

Surrounded by black and brown cedar duff, a lone, tall, shiny yellow mushroom grows in the center of the frame. Its stipe stands about three inches tall, and its cap extends upward about one inch from the top of the stipe. The mushroom is uniformly yellow. The stipe has a smooth but also slightly stringy or fibrous texture. The cap is smooth and reflective with tiny spots and thin lines of black, almost like an aging banana. 📷 Canon R5 Canon RF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM M, f/2.8, 1/10, ISO 400 Stack of 23 images 11/21/24 Olympia area, Washington

Rising from dark earth and tree duff, a beautiful tropical orange mushroom glows. Its stipe is smooth and changes from a nearly reddish-orange at its base to a yellow-orange near the cap. The cap follows the same color gradient. The yellow-orange is at the margins of its serrated cap, and the darker orange is at the top. Its surface is slightly reflective, bumpy, and wax-like. 📷 Canon R5 Canon RF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM M, f/4, 1/5, ISO 400 Stack of 37 images 11/21/24 Olympia area, Washington

Highlighted by soft spots of sunlight, a gorgeous green and yellow mushroom - the parrot mushroom, Gliophorus psittacinus - shines above the ground. Its smooth and shimmering yellow stipe bends slightly to the left as it rises just under two inches above the earth. Its light and dark green cap reflects the sky above from its slimy surface. A tiny string of slime hangs off the right edge of the cap. 📷 Canon R5 Canon RF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM M, f/3.5, 1/2, ISO 400 Stack of 29 images 11/20/24 Olympia area, Washington

A fungus photo a day: Not a great photo. I should have deleted it because the Hygrocybe flavescens/golden waxycap isn’t in sharp focus (my iPhone in low light letting me down again) but I still kind of like it. So here it is. #fungifriends #fungi #mycology #naturephotography

A small parrot mushroom grows among bright green moss and dark brown tree duff. This mushroom, Gliophorus psittacinus, stands just over one inch tall.

A parrot mushroom with a smooth and skinny yellow stipe and a yellow and olive green cap bends its way out of the earth. The stipe has a unique pattern of light and dark yellow on it due to its semi-transparent nature. The shiny cap is slightly conical and is yellow around the margins and olive green at the top. Bright green blurry moss obscures just the edge of the bottom left of the frame. Blurred brown and dark green from out-of-focus leaves and moss are behind the mushroom. 📷 Canon R5 Canon RF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM M, f/4, 1/4, ISO 400 Stack of 14 images 11/20/24 Olympia area, Washington

A love these ghostly wax caps. This one, I believe, is the cedarwood wax cap, Cuphophyllus russocoriaceus.

A pale white mushroom grows from slightly mossy ground. Its stipe is smooth and slightly curved. Its gills start lower than the cap covers, allowing you to see the beginning of them even from the just barely angled-down shot. Its cap is round and dome shaped with a hint of transparency on the edges. 📷 Canon R5 Canon RF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM M, f/4, 1/5, ISO 400 Stack of 27 images 11/27/24 Olympia area, Washington

Centered in the photo is the amazingly beautiful teal-colored and semi-transparent cap of a parrot mushroom. The cap is tipped up so we can see underneath it. The shiny and smooth yellow stipe comes up from the bottom of the frame and disappears under the high edge of the cap. The top of the stipe is lined with the reflection of the gills surrounding it. The gills of the cap are soft yellow and between them is the glowing blue-green cap as light filters through it. The cap appears shiny and wet. 📷 Canon R5 Canon RF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM M, f/4, 1/5, ISO 400 Stack of 28 images 11/20/24 Olympia area, Washington
