High Color Change

Mushrooms grow through the sand coming above the ground.

This photo was taken by the author. This was during a walk through the Teutoburger Wald, Lower Saxony, Germany. I was here for a few hours. My friend lives near the German border in The Netherlands and we too have the chance to go here by car on Monday the 18th of October 2021.

Grow through the black sand be high, to see from above, having a better look, what happens when color change — to brown, red, or orange.

Do you love mushrooms in your garden, or during the walk through the forest? Let me know if so, and how you enjoy or do not enjoy them.
