FUNGI

It was a day of mushrooms and bird nest fungi sightseeing. They were sprouting almost everywhere with all the rains, especially at areas where there were organic wood mulches.

There could be 2 types of basidiomycetes and 1 type of agaricomycetes shown here. I am not sure if the former is actually the same type but darkens with age or they are distinctively different species. The latter is the much smaller bird nest fungi within the same pile of mulch as the white mushrooms. However, there were no apparent "eggs" in the nest.
