Autumn is the rainy season, which means the mushroom season! Every one of us, who was in the countryside this wet season, could see a large number of this delicious gift of nature appearing immediately after the rain. Mushrooms are remarkable life forms. They have no roots, stems or leaves. They grow so fast that you almost feel like you are watching their evolution. Mushrooms contain many vitamins, minerals, fiber, antioxidants and water, with low sodium and fat and zero cholesterol. They are also rich in the B vitamins group: riboflavin, niacin, folic acid, thiamine and B6, being the only vegetarian source of vitamin D.

They grow really fast, I love mushrooms.
A very nice shot of mushrooms. I love photographing mushrooms in my garden though the wild ones that grow on their own in our garden may not be edible.
I know in the right season how fast mushrooms grow…I put some leftovers of edible mushrooms in the garden and had fresh mushrooms in the morning…
Unfortunately, a certain hedgehog started eating the mushroom scraps and it was enjoying the scraps of mushrooms so much – I did not have the heart to stop him eating the scraps..
I didn’t know that hedgehogs love mushrooms!?
The gift of nature are the fruits that I see which gives us something even if we don’t nurture the trees.
Nature offers so much to us, but unfortunately we reward it with … pollution.
I know mushrooms would spring up everywhere in the woods in Latvia and when autumn came we really enjoyed picking mushrooms
As a child, I used to watch them grow from day to day.
We have them too specially on dead wood. We also produced mushrooms indoors a few years ago known as the Oyster.
I love Oyster mushrooms. I buy them from the supermarket.
I did not know mushroom could grow that fast. Although now that you say it, I do see them pop ul after a lot of rain.
The development of mushroom in humid environments is extremely fast.
