Have you ever seen mushrooms on the beach?
Well… this was the first time I did. And the last time as well.
I have no idea what they are. They were pretty dry and now from the photos it is a bit hard to identify them. But what a cool find!
Few weeks before that I was discussing with my friend (calling us fungi geeks?) weird
Places where mushrooms can grow and she showed me some photos of fungi growing on dunes and I just couldn’t believe her! Come on – its dry, winy, hot. They don’t like that…
Yet here they are. Pity I took just 2 shots. It was actually a very cold, windy early spring day. On my earlier post you can see the empty beach of Lagoa de Albufeira that day. Almost no one there…
Anyone knows the their name maybe? Have you even met a dunes fungi?
So beautifully captured, Ewa…I have never seen mushrooms on the beach…how very interesting!!
Thanks a lot Jola 😀 That was my first time too.
Fungus incredulus var Amigus cheekus 😉
That would be joke of the year!
It’s called Fungus incredulus. I think your friend ‘planted’ them there before she took you to see them. And she’s been laughing at you ever since 😀

nice
Thanks!
Love these shots.
Thank you 🙂
I’m every day on the beach, but I never looked. Surprised with these wonderful pictures. Small grains of sand look like small crystals of sea salt.
You should definitely looks for them. Those were more up on the dunes… Not that close to the water. I’d say the sand is not so salty there anymore and other plants start to grow.
sorry i have never seen that kind of shroom. Great pictures 😀 hmm why wouldnet you see them again???
I bet you have lots of mushrooms in the woods though…
I dont go to the beach often and I am pretty sure they dont grow them all year round. I guess I was super lucky 🙂
Excellent photo
Thank you Olga 🙂
Never seen them on the beach. Cool photos as always.
Thanks very much 😀
Great photos, and no Ive never seen mushrooms grow on or near a beach.
Thanks!
They probably just got lost 😉
Not only you want to go to the beach… shrooms wanna go to the beach too! Lol…
No idea, but they sure are awesome. Love the copper color!
They were super cool find! 😀 I didn’t expect to see them there.
