Right to kick off a new thread here's a shot taken this week from the woods behind the house (West Lothian, central Scotland).

Good to eat and beautiful to behold.
Too dry here for them yet.

On my floating islands is  a unknown beauty just now fruiting. About the size of a two Euro piece. Of course there it is always the same amount of humidity.

Nice colourful mushroom but don't know what it is called - found in local mixed wood

Maybe of the Amanita family. A few edible ones and most poisonous, some deadly.
