The same mushroom as above doesn't appear as dramatic from this vantage. #Fungi
A few odds and ends...

📸2: Moody splintering fungi chilling with the #Moss
📸3: This majestic mature Lilac Oysterling! #Nature
📸4: A lonely fungi dreaming of #FungiFriends
These Western Wild Ginger plants were a fun find last weekend! (Asarum caudatum) #WildGinger #Flowers
A bit difficult to get a good angle on as they were on a moderately steep slope and moved too much in the light breeze for a composite shot. #BloomScrolling #Nature
Another shot of the same 3 plants a day later and a nearby friend found about 3 meters away. The nearby friend was already starting to flower! So the #BloomScrolling tag is more on the nose with this post.
These were found in an area I usually spot Amanita and Russula fungi.
These pink balls of flowers are always a delight!
The Gnome plant is one of several non-photosynthesizing plants found in the Pacific Northwest. (Hemitomes congestum) #Myco-heterotroph #FungiFriends #Fungi #Plants #Flowers #BloomScrolling
A few fungi observations from last weekend. #Fungi
An amanita, some likely Wood Woolly Foot and more! #ALTtext #FungiFriends #Forest #HobbitFungi
A few more...

Perspective matters.
This moss bell has a stunning serrated veil circumscribing their cap when viewed from directly above.
From the side, as seen below, it looks like a normal bell fungi. #Fungi #Moss #MacroPhotography
A new #Orchid for me!!
I'm fairly confident these are the Pacific Coralroot, Corallorhiza mertensiana.
Another of the always fascinating non-photosynthesizing plants. #Myco-heterotroph #Fungi 🍄📸
Can you spot the #Spider in image 3?
The last picture is of the more widespread Spotted Coralroot.
Pinesap are such oddballs &I'm here for it!
Monotropa hypopitys are a non-photosynthesizing plant that get their food from a parasitic relationship with fungi. 🍄📷
Another way to frame it is the #Fungi are growing #Flowers ...albeit, apparently not of their own volition. #BloomScrolling
