Taking walks to find Mushrooms has become a greater interest of mine for every year, edible or not, a lot of mushrooms are just great fun to find and look at, and of course take pictures of. All of these are from Sweden This is not the biggest or widest Penny Bun I have seen, but it is definitely the best looking specimen I have ever found, the shape is just perfect, it is practially unharmed and the white vein things stand out great. I could not bring myself to even pick it.  Glorious massive Amanita shroom  I have had a hard time identifying this, it had a very pleasing purple color, but the textbooks seem divisive and google searches seem split at times too, closest seem to be Cortinarius violaceus, or Laccaria amethystina  Could have sworn I just found some super enlarged red blood cells lying around when I saw these, I have no idea what they are I have been wondering how to preserve the shape and beauty of Mushroom specimens, most preservation efforts deal with cutting them up, drying them and so on to preserve edibility, but I would just want some nice Shrooms in a jar for decorative purposes, pickling them seems the most likely way to succeed but I am unsure of if longevity or looks are preserved well.

Oh yeah, that seems really useful, will keep it bookmarked. Boletus shrooms feel pretty rare in most areas, can search an entire forest and find maybe 5 of them in total, but there was one area this year that was just swarming in them, probably several hundred within a 100 square meter area, it was insane, few of them were pretty, but many were very chunky and heavy.

 Amazingly I like both games and nature, so I made this thing. Anyways, some shrooms are starting to pop up, I am looking forward to Late August and September again in Sweden when there were masses of Boletes and other shroomage about last year  A surprise  These look like some tasty candy treats, not sure what they are and they were really small, but I still had an urge to just pop some in my mouth, if only to see if the texture would be all gummyish, but alas must resist again.
