Uit de documentaire Boerocratie rijst het beelod op dat als je maar zegt dat je de democratie wil ondermijnen namens de volkseigen boerengemeenschap, je overal mee wegkomt.

Some shots of fungi I encountered yesterday. Descriptions and possible determination in the ALT text.
#fungifriends

An outcrop of Coprinellus micaceus (possibly), thickish white stems with golden brown, glistening hoods

Two specimens of Mycena unknown rising from the moss, one tilting across the other

A swarm of tiny, tiny inkcaps (Coprinellus disseminatus) around the foot of a tree

Possibly a Conocybe albipes fungus. Light brown hood with darker brown along the rim
