Last autumn vibes

Autumn is truly a wonderful season with all its color combinations... I'm quite sad every year to enter the winter season - it is usually so rainy starting from November, even though it is not too cold :-(

Fly amanita

This mushroom is to me the highest reward during my mushroom-hunting strolls in the forest :-)
 
With its bright red color and relative rareness, it is truly a wonderful moment to be able to spot one at last... They usually (as most mushrooms I guess) appear again where they did the previous year, so I will know where to find some next autumn!

St-Germain-en-Laye

A trip to the pretty castle and forest of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, a place where I hadn't been for quite some time, but remembered as a very nice stroll... And I wasn't disappointed this time again :-)

I love taking pictures of mushrooms from their cap, creating a (not always regular) circle surrounded by the beautifully colored autumn leaves :-)

Bolete

Very easy to identify thanks to their spongy cap with pores instead of gills!
