Nice shot, Kim !All very sharp, although not in the same focus.
Thanks!It is a stack of 4 images.
Common puffball (Lycoperdon perlatum)
Found on a tree in Córdoba, Spain. Z6, 60mm 2.8G
I do not know the identity of this mushroom.
Probably Amanita Citrina - False Death Cap.
Definitely Amanita citrina: positive identification is its smell of potatoes, contrary to the Death Cap (A.phalloides), which has little or no smell (young samples). Still it's a mushroom to avoid, not having any culinary uses.On account of recent rains, mushrooms are popping up everywhere in my area (N Italy). In the Alps, August has been a very good period for collection of edible mushrooms, while in the plains (Po valley) nothing was to be spotted.Ciao from Massimo
