People have always been fascinated by these mysterious life forms.

Unfortunately, people were also afraid of them, associated them with occultism, witches, and therefore were considered a threat to be eliminated...

Nowadays, with the era of witch-hunting far behind, we can admire them in abundance.

As soon as the days grow shorter, I pack my camera bag for a "hunt" of images.

Mushrooms

Normally, i only publish my own images, but my wife made such a fine image from this one, I just had to publish it...

The great Parasolmushroom, proudly resisting the hard windy conditions of the dutch dunes

The King bolete, pictured differently.

This one was almost 30 centimetres!   I found it in a park under oak trees.
