Sometimes the biggest surprise awaits us right at the end. Literally the biggest!
I was already heading home, close to the exit of the forest. I ended up on a small, green path surrounded by very thick and messy bushes. I don't think this place is very popular among people. The twigs were hitting my head and pulling on the jumper. It was like some secret passage that nobody knows about (though I have known that path since I was a kid, just a bit cleaner).
And all the messy bushes and trees with piles of fallen leaves between them were the perfect place for these mushrooms to grow.
They were huge, silvery, and shiny. The biggest ones had hats the size of a large grapefruit. And there were dozens of them, all sticking out from between the leaves.
I have no idea what they are. Google is not helping. But I keep saying I am terrible at identifying them. That doesn't stop me from enjoying photographing them. They are a great, very static object, even on a windy day :)

See how they were all protected by the young trees and bushes? I had to do yoga here to get a little bit closer.
This is the mess that I have found them in.
