Today is a little break from the Polish woods and mushrooms. We are back (for a little bit) to Portugal and the local fungi.

These were shot in October in the south part of the country. There is still plenty of dry plants around as the rains just started. Some moist trapped in the decaying leave were enough for these handsome fellas.





Just look at those pretty ruffles. Fancy little dude :)





I have no idea what they are and I did not pick them. Few of them were standing all proud under the large cork trees.

Very pale, almost white top an the nearly black gills under looked quite elegant. And they were also the biggest mushrooms found that day.

A little bit further away, but still around cork trees I spotted another group of whitehats :)

It could be the same type, just a bit younger so they didn't open the hats as much yet. Also the gills on these were brown and not black - that also could indicate not a mature specimen.
But it's all just my thinking out loud. It might be a completely different mushroom that fooled me think it is not :p

Come on, show us the gills...





Oh you are shameless! 😂
