The Fungus on The Tree.

Greetings, friends
Friday!
A recent walk in Zarechny Park turned out to be rich in various content. I even saw mushrooms, although I didn't even think about them.
Interesting fly agarics. They usually say that they have white spots on their red hat. But these are not just spots, they look more like popcorn crumbs, as if someone chewed the popcorn very sloppily.

When I was talking about the walk on Wednesday, I mentioned the storm that passed on Monday. If I hadn't seen the fallen, broken trees, I probably wouldn't have seen the mushrooms that grew next to this broken aspen.

Trees were not just broken, but some were uprooted from the ground. The roots of trees do not go deep into the earth, but are located on the surface, because groundwater is located at the very surface.

Here's the mushroom. A simple Russula.
I just found out today that there are at least 10 types of mushrooms.:
Russula illota
Russula paludosa
Russula xerampelina
Russula claroflava
Russula aurata
Russula vesca
Russula decolorans
Russula azurea
Russula integra
Russula virescens

I would classify this mushroom as Russula aurata. Such russula is very fragile, so I don't take them home. I prefer to take Russula xerampelina or azurea. They are usually more dense.

Russula is hanging on a branch. I'm not surprised by this. I've seen this picture many times. I think it's the squirrels making supplies. I even saw a squirrel eating a mushroom. I even have a picture of it. But it must be found in the archives.

Have you, friends, seen a squirrel eating mushrooms?
