      Hello hawk389bat! I am so glad you asked me this again! There are some really pretty fungi and colourful fungi. Sometimes fungi group together in things called fairy rings, and looking for pretty fungi reminded me of the Pixie’s Parasol fungus which is really beautiful (Mycena interrupta)! In fact other Mycene fungi are also tiny and really cute! Examples of some colourful fungi are the Blue Milk Mushroom (Lactarius indigo), Violet Coral (Clavaria zollingeri), Coral Fungi (Clavulinopsis corallinorosacea) and Golden spindles (Clavulinopsis fusiformis). There are even some fungi that glow like the Bitter Oyster (Panellus stipticus) and something that makes me think of unicorn hair Coral tooth (Hericium coralloides).
