I& #39;ve been fascinated with Mushrooms lately and did a dive in Pexels today in order to make myself a theme with slideshow backgrounds.
Photos are so fascinating that I wanna share with you all, so here& #39;s to a thread with gorgeous #mushroom pictures.

Probably some of the mushrooms here are poisonous. Have no idea which is which.
But Gorgeous they are for sure.

The places and forms in which they grow... magical

And some of them may really be... magical?
Like Santa Claus, Christmas, Siberian shamans magical Amanita Muscaria

When the weather conditions are just right the mushrooms sprout in order to spawn the spores which would enable them to spread far and wide.
Spring and autumn in sub-tropical and temperate regions are best. In the tropics, they& #39;re probably growing all year round.
Interesting is that a lot of them are recyclers. They grow on dead wood, cow dung and in areas that are in some kind of transitional stress.
I& #39;m not sure why and how, but a lot of humans find them mesmerizing, beautiful, charming, gorgeous.
I cannot fail to mention the therapeutic potential of some of the species.

You can find the mushrooms in so many places. In pop culture, children& #39;s books, video-games (Super Mario, anyone?), Alice in Wonderland.
And you can also check out the documentary @FantasticFungi which you could now buy or rent and watch from the comfort of your own home.
